Aziel

The skies roared
 1
with certain uncertainty.
 2
The ocean screamed
 3
its unending praise
 4
to a god with no name.
 5
Her white dress was
 6
smeared with mud;
 7
her precious tears
 8
were tainted with blood.
 9
That's the day
 10
he went away.
 11
This is then,
 12
that is now.
 13
That's the day
 14
she lost the race.
 15
In the city of ashes,
 16
we can pray
 17
but we won't be
 18
HEARD.

The first half provides a clear image (L1-9) then it gets a bit weak, try to continue the second half with a stronger image, let us feel her pain so  we  can hear her.

Very nice. Modest Mouse inspired?

Try breaking into stanzas. Break after line 5. After line 9. After 13.

Dunno. I like the last four lines.

P.S.: They say that awkward Americans
hog all the glory there is.

Lol, Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to do something with that, Claudia.
