There was a hand
That use to show
The way to paradise
Became rheumatic

Hey zhaul..

I think this is a fine little write, but the grammar needs fixing. Suggestion:

The hand
That used to show
The way to paradise
Became rheumatic


Maybe "arthritic" would work better instead of "rheumatic", as it is a more common and identifiable word.

Just ideas to use or lose. Very original.

'it' became arthritic

that would sort this out and keep the same delivery manner of the first three original lines, which I feel have a better story telling feel to them.

The hand that showed
where paradise glowed

rode into
a crippled sunset

The hand that showed
where paradise glowed
rode into the walls

the foot that kicks
with soot from Styx
erodes like waterfalls
-
don't mind me - I like yours.................lol
