The Red Death Redux

This is awesome! Love poe have read 3 or 4 of his this month...red mask of death...eas not one...and ive neva seen the fluck..pozter is awesome with vincents big mug
If i remember correct we never really find out how the guy gets in or if he is even infected...poe was always pish poshing that his stories were not at all didactic ??? I always find sumthin. And i dig this summation..blood red symbolic of life and death here!  
"tThe sound of revelry rising within  
He bribes the sullen guards  
A few baubles, ducats for the doxies  
Then ascends to the Midnight Masque  
One man, the Buffoon Prince, defies him  
Threatens to send him back through the gates of Hades "

I love the way you worded this T!! So brilliant you!

Thanks Jennifer.  I'm reconsidering this one.  It contains a heavy-handed attack on Donald Trump ("Blowhard Prince,"  "Buffoon Prince").  I should probably stay away from politics.  Definitely not my forte.  

Sir Fly. . .I wouldn't change a damn thing as I don't feel this piece is solely aimed at Donald Trump; this piece (your poem) can be reflected differently in the eye of the reader than what you originally anticipated; Miss Gin was referring to Poe and I refer to it as a poignant illustration I find w/anything relating to it. . .IMO, poetry are just small trinkets of metaphors; no two relations are the same. . .Excellent job in deterring your readers to think otherwise;). . .xo, Devlin.

Thanks Devlin.  I'm glad you and Jen enjoyed this without the Trump angle.  Maybe I'll put Hillary in one called "The Purloined Email" and see if it flies.  Have to strike a fair balance.

Loved ir...dont know why you would change anything either.  
And thanks Dev..yes ..was speaking about Poe and his balking at finding moral alkegory in his pieces..that i usually do...and that i really Enjoyed this perspective and theory...if i remember correct that we do not know this is how it happened...i think its a brilliant sub story from your fantastic mind C. no..i didnt get the Trump inference.  But thats no flaw in your effort..a reflection more likely of my lack of political knowledge right now.

I agree with Dev, Crow,
 no need to change anything it's perfect just the way it is .
And FYI, Trump needs a haircut!
Wonderful  proem you have here!
Happy Halloween babes mwah

"This is little more than a dream within a dream...." Perfect ending. I adore Vincent Price, his voice is like no other. Perfect for Hallows Eve too. I don't think I've seen that movie though, hum, need to google it. Awesome inking! blue angel  
(Didn't realize it was aimed at Trump)

I can appreciate this ink crowfly! Written really well!

On a side note: I blame everything that's wrong in the world on Donald Trump's hairpiece. lmao.... joking! :)

This will send me to the film.
