Serpents and Doves

The world has become so dark and twisted
That temptations are barely resisted
That people clap their hands
Over their ears
So they don't have to hear
About salvation and repentance
The cross fades into a distance
As we spit on its existence...

Love the storytelling style. You went from humorous to adorable to heartbreaking to beautiful all in just one poem. This could be turned into a romantic movie.

I love the message, the repetition and the way you ended your poem. Glad to see you've taken a step toward breaking a stereotypical sentiment.

Your poem greatly reminds me of one of my own, which promotes the silence and asks readers to savour it instead of trying to break it. Nice work.

Although I have probably not accurately pinpointed the meaning of your entire poem, I actually like it

Wow. Your diction is powerful and evocative. It's difficult to summarize an entire story in just a few stanzas but you nailed it.
