So Long, New Orleans (Song for our band)
 
Another secret left in the dark
She turns her eye to the shaded landscape
Now the drum roll ends when the music starts
We’re all okay here, after dark
I said we’re all okay,
We’re all okay, okay
Let’s all agree on undoing ruin
I’ll take you back to the city she marked
Her flight came in despite being inhuman
Atlantis whispered warnings to them

The killers faces were swept away
Upon their reflection’s stay (what a lesson was taught…)

Assistance made it painstakingly clear
We are all reduced to this
Extremists thought the end was near
A fat lady sang from her domestic rooftop
She said so long to the city she loved

And now it’s not okay
I said no, it's not okay!
I said it’s not okay here!
Okay

I loved how u tackled the whole issue. Emotion was great, but wat really got me was the imagery. especially
A fat lady sang from her domestic rooftop
She said so long to the city she loved

^^^thats powerful imagery, and i liked the atlantis line. overall i'd say 9/10 but thats only cuz nothings perfect!! lol

This Was Very Nice.

You Had Lots Of Emotion And The Imagery,
Not ALOT... But I Feel It Had As Much As The Piece Needed, You Know?
Everything Just Fit As It Should.

'I’ll take you back to the city she marked
Her flight came in despite being inhuman
Atlantis whispered warnings to them'

I Liked These Lines Alot,
The Comparisson To 'Atlantis' Is Actually The Most Fitting I've Heard So Far.
It's Very Surprising No One Has Done That Yet.

Very Impressive, Nice Originaliy.

'A fat lady sang from her domestic rooftop
She said so long to the city she loved'

Some Me Be Torn On This,
Because You Took An Old Saying And Just Barely Changed It.
But I Think It Was Changed Just Enough.

You Made It Your Own And Just Presented Your Message Perfectly.

Overall A Really Strong Piece,
Only Suggestion Is Maybe Make Your Next Poem Alittle Longer?

This One Was Pretty Short,
And Since I Liked It Alot I Would Have Enjoyed Reading On A Bit.
