the veil of darkness

[poet1234512]

this is my first poem and I'm writing it through some hard times so don't hate if you don't like it. also i have never written one before so i don't know the proper format or how to write one so if you want to give me tips that would be great.


The veil of darkness hung over me like a shroud
a shroud that can never be lifted
it hurts it's painful but then i see her
she is my light the gives way to light to my darkened soul
she lifts the veil from around me she gives me hope to live
but i am not her light
i do not give her light i am just another piece of this veil that causes her more pain and sorrow.

Poetry does not have a strict form or format. It is what you make it. If you want some examples to show you how different poetry can be, try looking at some famous works by Robert Frost, and compare them to Charles Bukowski, or Frank O'Hara's famous "Having a Coke With You."
