wow Dean,

Please. Tell me how you really feel.

I'm sorry, don't mean to laugh at you, but I hope you are not feeling this way.

You've got a really cool example of organization that has your name stamped all over it. It's uniform, it flows impeccably with strong rhymes.

Love the graphic too BTW. Thanks for the nighmare muh, ha ha, ha.
Be well,
Katherine

Thanks very much for your exceptional rating and kind review, Drusilla1. And yeah, except for the killing, this is exactly how I feel, my friend. Exactly...

I guess is somewhere within me. The more I tried shutting it down, the more I experiences things that keeps it open. It's wicked. Sometimes, I'm ashamed to even call God. But, He is stronger. And I'm ever willing to let Him pull me out of my own hell.

Thank you for the thought-provoking piece. God bless us! c", Mae

Back to the deep and dark with this one Dean. It's a great read and I couldn't stop the chuckle. Not sure what that says about me, but great setting with this one, as always.

Oh man that last picture on there gave me chills and put a knot in my throat. You know maybe it is how my mind works and how I think of the cadence of a song, but the rhyming scheme is my favorite where you triplet the rhymes and the beat clicks hard. I almost felt a Bob Dylan song coming on....

Great minds seem to always be spinning new webs or spewing constant ideas that lead to a onslaught of stories and poems. Yours, never seems to take a break. Great job. :-)

Oh, don't I know it, Ric. I only wish that they would, at least once in awhile. I need some peace, LOL.

Thanks for the kind review.

Ouch! Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is what I am hearing. Many do suffer hell in this life. If only peace could be given by infusion.

As you know I am not very fond of horror, I had to skip past the visuals, I really do get nightmares, even at my advanced age! Your excellent words and rhymes are just pouring out in your time of creativity. I am too busy talking to fairies in the wood to think dark thoughts. I hope you felt your release after writing it-you really think very deeply. Faye

Thank, Faye. I only wish the world was all puppy dog tails, gossamer winged butterflies and faery dust, but it isn't, not for some.

Thank you for your kind review.

If this is what you cook up, then remind me never to come to your place for dinner. LOL. This was really a mind fest of hearing those evil little voices that demand us to misbehave and hurt others. I like the running rhyme and the dark tone in this. nicely done.

Golly gee Kuchman, I don't get it. Are you trying to say you dropped a cup a hot coffee on your bare foot and your in pain? Kidding, I see the agony of a review that misunderstood your latest story in these fascinateing words of agony. Someone probably asked why your character was dipping chocolate Easter bunnies in their strawberry margaritas. I know, what a dumb question. Why wouldn't you right? Good poem, I love how you have expressed the frustrations of a writer.

Yeah, it's easy to do when you keep losing contests like I do, sibhus, LOL.

Thanks for the entertaining review!

What a vivid image of one's private hell you have created here. "shreds of hope lay at my feet" help to set the desperate tone throughout. Also strong verbs such as dying, burning, yearning, screaming help the reader feel the agony of the speaker. That last picture of the face wrapped in arms certainly capped off the images from the poem. Good job, Dean.
