I’m proud to have created a challenge that inspired this poem.

The internal rhyme—shroud, clouds— is well nestled in there, well placed, and not overdone. The screeching seagulls remind me of the violins as they get loud and wild. Every image you use adds to the story. It’s complex, uses simile and symbolism, and it reflects the sorrow and even violence of the song.

Thanks

Thank you :) the poem wasn’t only inspired by the song it was crafted according to it.
