a red-strewn mix of blood and dawn
a dawn so barely broke
and i have broken it
have beaten it to death
how sharper than a serpent's tooth <-- I don't think the 'how' is necessary here.
these razor'd pieces scattered out
on virgin carpet flower'd red
a peace reigns o'er us now
a red-strewn peace of blood and dawn
it's clanging never more to dread
its raised alarms fall'n silent, dead <-- I suggest reading it aloud. I read it both with the fall'n and failing and the latter seemed to help it flow a little better in my ear.

Short Explication:
Overall I liked it. I think it need some punctuation and there are a few times that the rhythm seems to get broken. I think with a few edits it would come out quite nice.
