Excellent

I caught this brilliant, creative and clever poem while reviewing for the contest.
Also great is your presentation with the picture, darkness and color.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes,
Mary

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Mary. I figured I'd try to go with something different this time. Hopefully scare a couple people straight. Lol. I really appreciate the generous stars and good luck wishes. I'm glad you liked this dark piece. Have yourself a wonderful day and thank you again.

Oooh this is chillingly good - once more showing your skill at this form. Your words are devilishly pointed, the farce of our hypocritical lives apparent. Doomsday/fate is speedily approaching. Prayers are plentiful. Anyone home?

An extra space has snuck in between 'bombs' and 'consume'.

Hey, Lisa, hello. Yes, I love the sonnet form, that's for sure. I figured I'd go with something diabolical this time. Lol. I went to reedit it and it didn't show the extra space. I was going back and forth with whether I wanted to use 'bombs' or 'nukes' and changed it a couple times. Maybe that's how it screwed it up. I don't know but I went in and deleted everything from the s of bombs and the c of consume and put it back in there. Hopefully that fixed the problem.

As always, Lisa, I really appreciate the great review and the stop by. I'm glad you liked this dark piece.

Ooh, I love it! I like the tone of conciliation - it's okay to be naughty, treat yourself, indulge a little hehehe...

I love the flipping of tropes on their heads - exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for in the contest.

Excellent meter and format.

I very much enjoyed.

Mike

Thank you for the awesome review and for throwing the contest, Mike. I had fun with it. This was a great idea for a new contest. I'd like to try it again some day. We seem to be lacking in sonneteers with imagination or they just didn't figure they had enough time to write one. Who knows? I really appreciate the stars, friend. I was looking forward to what you were going to add to the mix. Again, had a blast with it. Have a good one and thank you again.
