Morning on Galapados (Free verse) by Mikius
The sun rises Red as fresh blood It cuts the night And calls the day On the mountain The companions Treading snow Travel on As they move off Deep in the snow Thier spirits lift With the dawn The first rays Caress the mountain Like a lover Knowing all the roads And the sunlight pours Like liquid gold Across the slopes Gently kissing the snow The light comes Bright hope Piercing the darkness To bring the dawn

Up the ladder: Antiquity
Down the ladder: all the eyes are on

2nd to last verse is excellent, I like it a great deal.
Not sure about the last line, if I can think of anything better for it I'll let you know.
Only other gripe is that 'fresh' doesn't have an 'a'.
Good work

Fixed it up now. Thanks for the suggestions. I also added a new verse, so you mean the 3rd to last, not 2nd. Please leave anymore help you can give.

1st class,, the opening stanza is original in description,(at least I think so) giving this a rare 9 and a 2nd read

Well with the addition comes the need to turn this into a metaphor for two lovers...go to it.

it feels like you're using the same words, repetition, in a way that's not building but cheapening. I think you have a nice solid image, but it's portrayed in a step-forward, step-backward manner in awkward chunks--for me.
