LOL! An excellent warning for us all - be careful who you kill! I love reviewing your work. It's always creepy in a fun way, and definitely entertaining :-) Even without the cool artwork this poem has excellent presentation, flow, rhyming and imagery that just makes you sit back and smile at the "coolness". Once again, very well done and, once again, very much enjoyed! S ;-)

Dean, a very good story told in your poem. There are hints of Edgar Allan Poe. As always... rhyme, structure and presentation are excellent. It was a pleasure to read. I wish you well.

This is a flowing, well rhymed poem that shows that you never get away with anything. There is always justice in the end. His victim causes his death and sends him where he belongs.

Keep writing

    Hey, with reviews as grand as yours, why would I ever want to stop writing?

    I'm ever so grateful for your comments and truly undeserving of your more than generous four star rating, especially coming from a poet and author of your immense talent and overwhelming popularity. I mean, look at all you've accomplished!

    Wow, I'm speechless. Thanks again!

You thought you had gotten away with the crime and could profit from it, but she definitely put an end to that illusion. In search of justice, she certainly refused to show any mercy.

This was very well written
Very cleverly written too,
You have found new ways of describing things such as
a heart attack and poisoning
and "slipped almond toxins in her tea"
perfectly executed, great imagery.

Hi Dean. Once again you write with such a splendid story telling method that leaves me thinking about what it is you have to say. Your story poems are wonderfully witty and gory, but then fairy tales don't necessarily mean anything anyway now do they? Loved it. xoxo Kiwi

wow! A chilling story told in a poem. It felt like I was watching a horror movie. I like the narration and the pictures made it more vivid, especially the moving one. In life we can never escape karma.
Excellent!

Hi Dean, you have presented another of your dark masterpieces.

I cannot see any difference between the two. Perhaps it's been fixed.

I'm sure it could be a real scenario. This makes it all the more scarey.

The plot described so well in verse with striking presentation. Powerful, creative and with a great visual.
:) Mel.

I know it may sound weird that I 'm smiling.
It's because that the title of one my favorite TV shows I almost got away with. That's one of the reason I gave you a star.
The other reason you had my attention from the start her trilling her parasol blew my mind.
Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you, misscookie. That's very kind of you to say, and I'm extremely grateful and happy you felt the piece was worthy.

    It also happens to be one of the few television shows I watch, and I really enjoy it too. I get lots of my ideas for that show, LOL.

    I'm very grateful for your very thoughtful review. :)
