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. 

My lovely Underworld muse seems to pop in whenever I need him to. He does remind me of someone.. 

Thanks for reading... I'm glad you enjoyed it. 

So much both said and left silent but knowing.  Words flowed and feelings sprang forth, a true testament to what all poetry really should be; giving words to feelings and ideas...

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. 

*hands over a bucket* 

An interesting glimpse at what you think hell would be like, and if true, it's one place I certainly wouldn't want to spend eternity.  Thank  you for sharing this interesting work, @kbois, although I hope those images don't come back to haunt me in my dreams.  😈

Aww... my Lucifer has a fun side. Most of my Krew will be heading that way... I'll be driving the express train. 

I think Billy Joel got it right... I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.

Thanks for reading!

Horrifyingly powerful! Lord have mercy.

Poor Lucifer... he's really not that bad... although he does have his moments. Lol

"And now for something completely different".... I had to consume this a few times, and it is overall delicious for something so bleak. I think I picture you tongue in cheek, but I really can't be sure. The glee I felt in that final verse was brilliant. I picture Lucifer rubbing his hands together.  

Actually, I got something powerful from each verse... the first and second grabbed me by the throat. Well done!!!

Yes... Lucifer is a bit tongue in cheek... but we can never forget he's the devil. 

Poetry is completely different for me. I see it as a chance to learn something new. 

Thanks for reading!

This felt kind of personal. Did you have someone, two or three in mind? Do I register a pinch of schadenfreude?

No... nobody in particular was in mind. I've always described my version of Lucifer as being snarky... so him having a pinch of Schadenfreude is absolutely believable. 

Thanks for reading!

OK... Satan writing poetry. 👀🤨 They do it pretty well, if you don't mind the gloating and revelling in people's troubles. 😄

Thanks for this - a fun read and good on you for taking on the challenge.
