The Vanished Scholar

[CMCB]

I like the atmosphere you created, and I liked the end. Too many artists are the unfair victims of poverty and obscurity, and I think this can speak to all of the starving, unrecognized and poor artists out there in a way that commiserates with them. As for constructive feedback, perhaps you could have added something otherworldly into the poem, what with it being dedicated to Lovecraftian writers and their works. I mean, the macabre quality is there, but I'm pretty sure Lovecraftian is synonymous with the supernatural; I've never read anything written by Lovecraft that didn't involve something not based in reality. You sort of touch on that with the last two lines, but if I had to write a poem dedicated to said sub-genre, I would have included more of the supernatural quality.

But hey, that's just me. What do I know? I'm just some dude. I think you rock! Keep on making art, my man.
