Fear

You try to rest, but find no peace
For this slithering hunter refuses to cease
It embraces you, the deadly chill
As, with a twisting discomfort, you begin to fill
It slowly creeps down your spine
As it feasts upon your enfeebled mind
You search for safety, but you find not a trace
Solace laughs at you with its pale, grim face

ok im not sure what i should do with this....the beginning seems to start off from what would be the middle. Also, the last line "You have felt fear." is that necessary? Is it a strong ending, or should the poem end in a rhyme?

Or if you just wanna be like "omg this is so g4y lol!!11oneone" go ahead, ive done that to a couple people in this section so i deserve it. enjoy.

No need for the last line, once you already have the title as 'fear.' Though I'd suggest making the ending rhyme stronger.

Some suggestions to make it read and flow better: The beginning is fine, it's perfectly acceptable to start at that moment. Take out the word 'for' in the second line. I'm not sure you need 'as' in the fourth. Change 'as it feasts upon' to 'feasting on.' Make it simply 'but find not a trace' in the next line. I'd recommend changing the last line entirely, either reworking it or taking it out and ending on something else. It's awkward, and a weak place to end.

Aside from that it's okay. It doesn't really do anything new, but not everything has to.

I like it now. It sounds either sci-fi-ish or like a disease or something like that. And seeing as how I get nasty headaches that creep down my spine--like I've got right now-- I could really relate to it in that respect.

Dont put the words Grim, Frostbitten, Necro ect ect In anything which is meant to be serious

I thought it was fuckin cool, but i agree that the last line isnt needed.

Its definately not bad. I would agree with reworking the last sentence. Seems kind of out of place. But thats me.
