Stigmata Diabolic

One with
Won out
Broken down
Last city
Down & out
No need

One kiss
One shout
Lost love
With no pity
Found out
Your need

Take me out
Of this city
Where the women
Are just pretty

Move out

From the pity

No light
In this city

Mos, great title first up, and secondly, great rhythm and use of sound.  I know it's fairly insignificant, but the caps at the start of every line is a bit on the annoying side.  Quick edit and you'll be set.

he he, I knew you'd get the meaning behind the title, not so sure about the rest of the world!

This is one of those rare pieces for me that actually went through 3 days of work before I was happy with it. Glad you like, but I'm stubborn at times and will keep my indolent capitals.  :P

Mos.

Leanne, I'm curious, why the capitals don't work for you?  what is the "rule" regarding them?
Leanne - on Apr. 30 2008
There's no rule.  I just find that caps at the start of a line break the flow, I'd rather see them only where they're required rather than just as a matter of habit.  Actually, I'd rather see everything in a poem done deliberately and not as a matter of habit.  But, since Mos likes 'em capped, it's his call.

he he, let's just say, that in my case....it's a deliberate habituation...or perhaps a habitual deliberation?  :P
