[ CC ] Hell Has Unpoetic Properties
Hell has unpoetic properties -
novel constructions minus plot -
while a level for every devil ...
yards they just don't got!
Nary a tree leaves me questioning
Maker for makings making no sense
Grass ain't greener Other Side either -
side-less-ness exists without fence
I'd rather dwell in Possibility's acres
Aching for Paradise on Earth, I wait -
eager to relieve beleaguered eyes
in walks about my Heavenly Estate

Author's Note
inspired by Emily Dickinson's "I dwell in Possibility"

EXCELLENT!
Especially the unconventional capitalization and * gasp * punctuation! The essence of her morbid fascination with death is palpable.
Well done.

You are as perceptible as you are knowledgeable. I tried my best to incorporate that fascination along with her reclusivity. Thank you. EXCELLENT from you is the highest of praise. ❤📝
