Synced Cycle of the Full Moon and My Full Self

Cellar Door 2004 (Dublin)

February 23 


My blood is rich
Lacquered dragon's blood red
I am decadence incarnate

Daughter of The Devil and The High Priestess
I drink the moonlight,
Hedonistic satiating fill

To know my deed, 'twere best to know myself.
If I were to kill the King;
I would drink his blood in sultry excess

    Wow! Your poem "My Blood is Rich" is so powerful and unique. I love how you describe yourself as "decadence incarnate" and the imagery of drinking moonlight is so vivid and enchanting.

    Your use of language is impressive, and the overall tone of the poem is captivating. I especially appreciate the line "To know my deed, 'twere best to know myself." It adds a layer of depth and complexity to the speaker's character.

    One suggestion I have is to consider adding more context to the poem. While the imagery is fantastic, some readers may struggle to fully understand the meaning behind it without more concrete details about the speaker's situation.

    Overall, your poem is a fantastic representation of your talent as a writer. Keep up the amazing work!
