Suspended in the air
limbs stretched out
body twisted in an X
pain etched in her face --- yet
she is beautiful.

Her pale milky skin is
lost in the blinding white snow.
Her long raven-black hair
snarls and tangles as she is
tossed through the sky.
She glows as the wind
whips her face
and her glazed-over eyes
look through me.

Body contorted in anguish,
arms and legs a mangled mess,
mute. Still,
I swear I can hear her
scream.

It just meant that I had trouble finding a rhythm to it at first, but I have read over it since and I realize it doesn't really need one and I take back my first comment, now that I've read over it again it's really great!

Hmm..what do you mean by flow? I wanted to just capture a single image, so I'm not intending for there to be time passing, which would need to flow to remain cohesive, so I'm not sure what you mean. Is the image I describe not cohesive?

I found the poem didn't have much of a flow to it, but the imagery is absolutly beautiful, so keep up the good work!
