I thought this was a really great piece. As you're well aware, I love the pictapoem series. I thought the necrophilia angle was excellent, I actually heard a story about a girl who got a disease that you only get from dead bodies around her mouth because her boyfriend was a mortician who was having sex with the bodies that passed through the morgue. I think it was in Chicago. Anyways, great work on this piece, I enjoyed the construct of the rhymed quatrains and the aesthetic arrangement of the pictapoem, but also italicizing the narrative and leaving the dialogue normal. Great work overall, thanks for sharing.

UGH! truth is, indeed, much stranger than fiction, don't you think? I'm glad you liked this one, elchupakabra. I thought initially I'd take some
Thanks again, my friend. I truly appreciate it!
Comment from Evelyn Fort Stewart
The DEVIL and his demons are real and can manifest themselves. Anyone in witchcraft and weegee boards are placing themselves in a very dangerous situation. Eerie as always but that's your venue. God loves you and so do we.

Yes, you're right, Evelyn. Ouija boards are not something to be messed with. Black magic and witchcraft will drag your soul to hell faster than Superman in a crime convention!
I appreciate your fantastic review, and glad you got through this one...
Comment from RGstar
I love the way you use accent and dialect in this.
The poem itself was fine, but your array of usage combined with the flow of dialogue is divine.
The image compliments the work.
Another well delivered horror sequence, with great author's notes to match.
A good write, Dean

This is awesome Dean. Screwed and then some. LOL it really does have a sinister appeal to it. LOL I'm sure you have plenty more in you. Hehehehe. Better stay away from there.

Thanks for the fabulous review, Gungalo!

Comment from Green Lake Girl
This poem was particularly ghoulish and wonderful. The artwork is perfect. A textbook example of being screwed to death. "Thou art old, but I'm famished, I haven't much choice." Hell hath no fury . . . . .

Hah, you nailed it, Green Lake Girl! never upset a woman...not even an undead woman. It'll come back to bite you in your...well, you know, heh-heh.
Screwed to death. Now, that was good, Hah!
Comment from Ric Myworld
The human mind is so delicate and easily manipulated into believing about anything. Even those nonbelievers in urban legends, as myself, are thrilled by the creations of fright. And you write them as well as anyone.
Thanks for another GREAT poem!

Comment from lindalcreel
You have a brilliant mind for tales of horror. Stephen King would be impressed, I dare say. As always, your poems are vivid reminders of the occult and I've heard tales of some who go to these haunted places and are never right again. One particular place in Ireland comes to mind, but the name escapes me. Exceptional as always. Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow, Linda. When I hear my name mentioned in conjunction with Mr. King's, well, it pretty much makes my week, LOL! Thanks for this fabulous review!
You might be thinking of Leap Castle, in Cork, Ireland. Lots of freaky things go on there...

That sounds about right and the compliment was sincere:)

Comment from Dustybones
The graveyard of my choice would be a very ghostly one, withthis background music of course. I read today that 60% believe in ghosts. I think I do also think the spirt can linger. I like you notation too. Great holloween stuff.
I read a post in the general forum where you have been mentioned, in case you're interested. I think you are very good at this type of presentation!

Well, I was unaware of that mention, Dustybones. Thanks for letting me know.
I, too, believe in ghosts, I believe that's why I can get in touch with that "side" of my psyche so easily.
I truly appreciate your wonderful review!

I believe that we humans all are from some other planet or part of a federation of some sort. We lack all or most of the physic skills. They took them away from us. LOL. They being who ever they are and sent us here away from them! Oddly enough.

You know what they say? Women are from Venus, men are from Mars...

Hi Dean :)
Excellent story telling in this well rhymed poem. I was morbidly fascinated by the caretakers' intentions, he got his comeuppance alright lol!
Great presentation as always, your work is always an experience that stays with me for a while afterwards.
I appreciate all the effort you put into this and the informative author notes are great too.
Nice job :) kind regards, Debra

Thanks for that fantastic compliment, Debra. I sometimes wonder why it is I do what I do here, and then a review comes along like this one you've so graciously given me, and I step, take a long, deep breath and say, "Oh, yeah...that's why I do it!".
Thank you so much, again.
