Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde

Wow ... this powerful ... potent ... great flow ... so captures the essence of Stevenson's novel ... I recently read it ... it was simple ... but so unnerving ... disturbing ... nice poetic reflection ...

Thank you for such a wonderful comment. I'm glad you enjoyed my poem 😁

So good! Palpable pain and suffering felt, DC. The rhythmic repetitiveness of that 'monstrous" line really played  cleverly well into that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde feeling, Imo. I am glad you updated this, it's extremely well done... I was enthralled and pulled along, reading.

Ty for sharing, my friend

Thank you. I'm happy it was enjoyable. It's always a pleasure to read your comments 😁

I like how you started this out the gate.

Thank you. I was trying to make a strong beginning. I very much appreciate the read.

There are multiple sides to all of us. It is far to easy to exalt oneself of being above certain things or infallible, to create a false façade to make everyone believe the other side does not exist, all the while showing very much that it does. Suffering can bring out many things in people; perhaps the worst and perhaps the best but it depends on so many things and we are always trying to adapt and survive. Also, this made me think of running around London and Edinburgh while growing up in the UK which brought back some good memories and I suppose in line with the spirit of the piece some bad ones as well.  I really enjoyed it.

I feel many times we aren't always what people believe us to be. And it's because people are many things. People can have a good heart but at other times be down right evil.

I've only been around the USA. I wish I could travel more. Especially lately with how bad the politics are here.

Thank you for reading my poem. It's very much appreciated 😁
