@carmine yew The consistency with which the "sanguine" imagery is maintained through the poem is lovely ! I wonder if "began to seep" might make more sense than "began to creep" in the second stanza, considering that verb is closer to the action of a wound and would fit in nicely with your following simile "like blood that stains.."

What a lovely poem! Your meter is very good, it’s very satisfying to read aloud. I’ll need to reread it again a couple times to fully appreciate it haha my only note is that I feel the poem doesn’t progress or evolve very much. It’s repeats ideas i.e. stanza 2 “a trust betrayed” stanza 3 “dagger veiled in velvet lies” stanza 6 “betrayal’s art” Now there is nothing wrong with repeating ideas with different wording! I guess my note would just be that I’d be really interested to see what you can say about betrayal beyond just it bringing pain. Betrayal happens and thus “___” but if that is not the goal totally understandable, and again I really loved the poem, especially your meter and rhythm. Please tag me in any other poems you write I’d love to read them!

btw it is good, i guess you used it to reframe it, which is justifiable as the language is yours

no, the wording looks too familiar

#

i don't object it, i indeed myself use it as sometimes i can't wrote a 7 pages long poem by myself completely
