I wish I could give you a six, but I can't. This work is wonderful. I loved the word choice the imagery, the creepy sound. I love also how you ended saying it's your imagination... great!
The darkness of this poem was beautiful and outstanding. One of your bests. You just dragged me into each description of each tale.
I enjoyed this style very much, but at the moment I am not sure why, I think my poetry muse is sleeping.

    Ah well, sixer, or no sixer, I still very much appreciate you taking the time to speak your mind about it, Angel. That's always a pleasure!

    Glad you liked, always a pleasure. I don't have any sixes left this week, but I think I'm not allowed to give you more sixes for a while because of the system. I've been trying to write a poem for a contest outside fs because it pays, but I'm not sure what's happening to me, my muse must be on vacation.

I think this works pretty well. I love the use if the pictures. Everything that you described in this poem can be identified by the writers of different genre's. I hope you continue with this line of poetry. It was well done. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks very much, lindalcreel, that's exactly the sort of feedback I needed. If the poem wasn't very well received, I wasn't even going to attempt another one like it. However, I've been pleasantly surprised by how well it's been received, so I suppose I'll continue to do them for a while. They are exceptionally hard to produce!

    Thanks so much, again.

I did like the general layout a lot very original. I did not think it was that scary, might be as you were concentrating on the form. Nice and original.

    Thank you Robina, and you are absolutely right, I didn't want it to be overly horrifying. I wanted to include the nicer places in my imagination that writers like yourself sometimes take me to in your stories and poems. No all of them are scary places...

    Thanks, again.

Oh your imagination - that does work - at first I was thinking of a movie theater. Of course a journey inside your head would certainly be cool too!

Dean, this is an excellent piece. You have such a vivid imagination and you seem to be able to translate it perfectly in rhyme. This new style flows well and presents a mystical picture: a conglomeration of fantasy and horror as a trailer for film. I can actually see the detective's smokey office-film-noir style. Well done. Sheryn :-)

    Thanks very much, Sheryn. I just thought I'd test the waters, see how it did here on FS. I must say, I was apprehensive, at first. But, many people seemed to like it, so perhaps I'll do a few more 'pictapoems'.
    Thanks for your excellent feedback, as always!

Oh yes Dean your imagination is one horrorlandia where you can travel at the flick of your finger. It does seem that scary stories just grow leaves on your fingers that you can just pick them out of whim. What I mean is, it comes out naturally, that you are never run out of ideas. God bless, my friend, and may the Lord's guidance temper the scare blood running in your veins. Be well my friend.

The writer stays consistent with the aabb rhyme scheme. The rhyming is good. The piece flows well as the writer does a good job of not forcing the rhymes. The writer delivers a dark message that holds the readers attention from start to finish.

I like it! I always print my poems and writing over a pic- faded just enough for the writing to show clearly. Is there any special writing format here? If there is let me know, I'm always looking for new forms to learn. I enjoyed all the diverse images you presented... all quite lifelike. Great music too... fits perfectly!

    Thanks, PW, I appreciate it buddy!

    I'll get back with you in a PM about the formatting of one of these most challenging poems! It's quite a job!
