Lucifer's Almanac - 1. Chapter 1

 Beautifully done 😍😍😍 I always love when poetry gets written like it could be talking about 2 or 3 different things at the same time. Kinda helps that it makes me think of my great grandma's "as above so below" lectures from when I would get in trouble. 

I agree, it is a very clever piece indeed.   Any latent appreciation for poetry was drilled out of me by the horrific weekly poem memory test. However, bit by bit I’m reading poetry on this site with pleasure.  And this is a great delight to read and muse there upon.   Well done, @kbois and thank you.

Hell, with its promise of eternal damnation was sikily portrayed with your turn of phrase.  
This puts me in mind of the rap from “Thriller”, where it’s description of something so desolate was still so engaging….with that being said, I’m still aiming for admission to the opposite locale. 😇🪽

Nicely done….then again, I expect no less. 😉

Beautifully done. Demons and there tortured souls.

Feeble attempt? I don't think so in fact I thought I was reading one of @Parker Owens offerings

This anthology is me stretching my writing wings and learning something new. Poetry has never been my strong suit, although I have been known to manage a fairly passable dirty limerick or two. 

Thanks for reading!

I understand the hesitancy when it comes to reading poetry. I've had a great mentor and he's opened my eyes and heart to the poetry world (thanks tim!)

You do realize the opposite locale is full of religious zealots and all those virgins for the jihadists when they get there? 

Lucifer’s realm is where the fun is. I think most of the Krew will get there at some point. 🤣

Any time.  i'm happy it turned out well.  Poetry is a way of seeing the world, of painting what you see and feel with words.  i think you should practice this skill more often.

I will keep this skill in my back pocket and visit it occasionally. Poetry challenges me because it doesn't come easy. So it's good to practice...

Writing skills are never perfect for anyone. We all need to practice and try new things. 

Thanks again..😘

i've written a lot of poetry (8 books on GA) and no one has ever accused me of being a beatnik. So, i think @kbois is safe.

Did you see whom you described?

You think they are going there?!?!  LOL.  They’re more likely to have a level all their own here. 😬 (well maybe not the virgins 😳)

I’ve got faith in the Krew….if some wind up there they might take over so ol’ Luci may want to check that list twice or thrice, lol.

 

I know I'm safe, I worship the Fates. They'll let me go where I please, but it does sound like a fun party building up already. I'm game 😁😁😁😁😁

Me and you both. I wouldn't know an F sharp from a B minor if my life depended on it. 

As for carrying a tune? Only when needed to scare away nuisance wildlife. 

Mmm, I liked this, k.  Reminded me of someone.  tim mentioned you were writing poetry, you chose a favourite subject and character, I see. Well done.
