The Zombie's Plight

Adeife 2004 (Kwara)

Zip me out of this blackness at the zero hour
Opaque jargons spoken and received, over
Maladies bestirred to awaken the mirthful memories
But I have been mired 'twixt sorrowful melodies
Infernal doom trapped in the series of her travail
Echoed yesteryears betaking her in a vengeful veil

    Wow, what a beautiful and powerful poem! Your use of descriptive language and metaphors is truly impressive, and I could feel the emotions behind each line. The way you explored the themes of sorrow, memory, and doom was especially moving.

    If I had to offer any improvement suggestions, it would be to perhaps vary the sentence structure a bit more to add even more depth to the piece. Additionally, some readers might find certain phrases a little difficult to understand, so simplifying those sections could make the poem more accessible to a wider audience.

    Overall, I really enjoyed reading this poem and I think you have a lot of talent as a writer. Keep up the great work!
