What do you think of my poem?

as i first skimmed this piece, i thought to myself, "not another one of those guys who think that three words make a line of a poem and that a million 'lines' of nothing makes a poem". (hope that makes sense to you, because it probably only makes sense to me...lolz). however, after i skimmed it, i went into my normal order of reading the piece, and i'm shocked. i umed it would be written with the words of an 11 year old, but it really wasn't. the vocabulary was rich and meaningful. the suspense in the poem left me wanting more and more, and when the piece ended, i still wanted more. i would say that this is a great piece, but i would change a few things. first, i would use capital letters on the words that you want to show 'force' or meaning on, such as devil ("The devil seems), demons ("Nor demons possessed"), sin ("With sin and terror"), etc. also, i would play with punctuation, because you have a comma when it states "Nor demons possessed," yet, there are not many other periods, commas, etc. other than those points, i wouldn't change much, but perhaps you could extend more on the thought of the "luminescent sky" and the actual battle/war. i hope this helps and wonderful piece! <3
