An WHAT an experiment you have created and executed, Carmen, thus is a fabulous write! I especially admire the crafting of the last two lines:

"and the swaddling pink of dawn, will spread
its mercy on the midnight doom."

Fantastic!

I feel this is an exceptionally good write, Carmen. I do agree that the closing lines do not flow as well as the rest of your poem. ~~Bonnie Q

Carmen, I love the thoughts contained herein, and I love the format.
Good for you for experimenting.
that last line of the first stanza might work better with as simple a change as word order: "will the unearthing be false, or true? which avoids cliched, "true or false".

I agree with Andre Bendavi Ben-Yehu the last line needs working but the whole feeling of the poem is great!

"Poetic Unearthing" is interesting and has a profound philosophical background.

The last line of the first Stanza - sounds as it needs rewriting.

This poem, "Poetic Unearthing" delivers food for the minds.

A grand experiment, I'd say, Carmen. Really enjoyed this, and an extremely powerful opening - 'Leaping into maddening mind shadows' - Wow.
