What do you think of this poem? Opinions wanted
Impending doom with a gothic/biblical apocalyspe mood emanating from the lines. Almost a dreamscape filled with all things haunting from childhood tales. There is no pausing as you read. This is gripping. My only critique would be to think about using coyotes. Hyenas or jackals I think would be better suited to the ambience the poem has created. The screaming sheep flaying gave me an image of the heavens opening up and the creatures falling to their doom. Overall, very well done, and this is from someone who normally does not like dark.
