Oooh, this poem sends a shiver down my back! Hewitt, you really have a way with words and capture the setting and mood well.
| Quote:: |
| Breath by breath you wait |
I like this line; it shows death drawing nearer with each precious breath!
| Quote:: |
And then, there it is
The light goes dimmer
Dimmer, dimmer and after the light can't go any dimmer and you can't go back
Everything suddenly goes
Siriusly Black |
This stanza is my favorite part of the poem. The repetition of dimmer creates excellent imagery of the "life light" slowly going out until death overtakes the body. Also, writing "Siriusly Black" at the end was indeed clever!
Great job! I look forward to reading more of your poems as you write them.
ETA: Now it's perfect-no grammar errors!

Hewitt--
I am so glad you posted this. I can imagine many of Voldemort's victims fitting into this scenario, especially early on. The opening stanza set the dark tone very well. I actually had a chill when I read the third line.
I hope you'll post more soon.

Yay! I'm glad you have continued to write more poems.
Wow, it's incredible that you wrote "Harry's End" in ten minutes. Sometimes I suddenly get an idea for a poem in my head during the most unusual times, like when washing dishes or erm...taking a shower, and the words and rhythm to the poem just comes easily. Needless to say I always keep paper and pencil ready. Other times I brutally edit and rewrite poems over and over again.
Back to "Harry's End." First, I really like the idea behind the poem-not Harry dieing, mind you, but him finding peace after the final battle.
I like this because it conveys the great weight on Harry’s shoulders in life:
| Quote:: |
No tear will fall from that face again
And no mark of battles will he ever have to mend |
I like this because as previously mentioned, it beautifully shows Harry finding happiness:
| Quote:: |
Victorious he will be for the battle he won
And he will smile then, even though his time is done |
I also like the imagery of him smiling! Great job!

Hewitt, I know what you mean about writing poetry being frustrating at times. Heh, I actually have several poems unfinished yet! Sometimes I get sudden inspiration and write parts of them but then can't finish them. I've also completed a few of them, but I'm just not fully satisfied with them.
My humble advice is this: When you're stuck on a poem, just leave it. You can always start on another poem if you like, or simply come back to finish your poem whenever you get inspiration. You never know-sometimes a poet/writer/artist gets inspiration when least expected. It's kind of like how you search endlessly for a lost item, and then when you're not looking for it it shows up!
Again, great job on your poems. Take all the time you need until you're happy with your unfinished poems!

Ooh, I’m always interested in reading poems/fanfic describing Azkaban. "Azkaban Visitor" describes the prisoners quite well- with the imagery you provided I could easily imagine myself walking down the halls in Azkaban.
This imagery made me shiver:
| Quote:: |
But when your eyes are glued to a prisoner, just one
A tingling feeling that comes across your whole body will make you want to run
And the grave look the prisoner gives you back
Gives you the feeling that he wants to attack |
It reminded me of all those scary movies that keep me up at night, heh.
Yet I also liked the poem because it conveys somewhat of a mixed reaction towards the prisoners. You can feel pity for some because of the horrible conditions at Azkaban, yet at the same time many of the prisoners indeed have probably committed horrible crimes.

"Dimmer" it really does show how I think the victims would feel. You put across there emotions well.
"Always Loved" seemed like Arthur he's funny at first but then he gets serious and tells how he feels. I liked that about it.
"Harry's End" although I'm in denial about this happening as Harry can not die I suppose it makes sense that he would but he can't. Anyway to your poem I really like how most of the lines flow really nicely with the rhyme scheme.
"Azkaban Visitor" really good imagery in this one you feel like you are the visitor when you're reading this.
"The Time Turner" Really seems like Hermione with her warnings about getting in trouble.
"Drunken Headmaster" it's a funny one
I really like your poetry; you're a very talented writer. So you better not stop
P.S. I really like your avatar
