if it's merely an aparition, you give it very solid & fearful form. artistic, intense, devastating...

and sometimes deadly, metaphorical...or even literal.

Thank you very much John!

I agree with John.I especially like 'the wisdom of fright'

The fright is inborn, the wisdom is gained.
 
Thank you for sending me your wonderful message Mr. Kexby, I'm glad you liked this..:)

This is right up my alley. Like the style portrayed here. If this is any indication of how your other poems are count me in as a continuous follower. Curious what motivated you to write about such a thing?

Perhaps because, truth is stranger than fiction.

Thank you Clearmindedvillian, i'm glad you liked it and i saw your entry as well in the comp, good luck to you.

OMG! You came back full force mamacita, damn

I watch pretending not to see
the shadowless,  featureless
slithering
mouth open, barely
hissing from a practiced tongue.

I LOVE THIS ENTIRE DARK PIECE, but I just wanted to paste the above part in my comment..lol

Thank you Dave, I'm truly pleased and honored to have you read my work.  I'm equally a huge fan of your writing, there aren't too many ppl nowadays who write from the heart and in my opinion you certainly fall in that shortlist of writers.

Fantastic piece. Liked it very much.

Thank you so much for liking it (three crows, right?)

As Nietzsche said...when staring into the abyss...it will stare back...just the most amazing poem...a painting of words Rina *****
