It's like Blake and William Burroughs combined in an urban dystopian vision of Hell. Bob Dylan couldn't paint a blacker picture of contemporary evils than this powerful glimpse of humanity gone wrong.

It's a shame! But good writing, Aberjhani.

Oh boy when you do it, you do it as nobody else can. A shocking and visually startling write. I keep thinking that you'd write a brilliant screenplay. I've yet to meet a poet with such an effective visual style.
It's so good to read your work again.

Aberjhani your graphic reality shocks the reader to become fully awake,hanging onto every word. I agree with Jude and Kate, you have an uncanny sense of being able to combine the propitious and the profanbe! Superb write!

Aberjhani, the compelling narrative and awe inspiring symbology, make this allergorical piece of sublime wisdom the work of a true visionary 'not look to demons of ignorance for hope'.
Kudos my friend.

you have an outstanding talent to juxtapose the commonplace with the enkindled ... your reach into the heart of your subject and liberate it from its demise ... a masterful write, Aberjhani ...

From the shadowy darkness of your verses comes a lot of wisdom, Aberjhani. The streets are no place for children to grow up, though many, unfortunately, do. "Street smarts" are no substitute for learning about life through a loving family, a quality educational facility and the power of faith. In the long run, this violent life will only lead to more uncaring, violent behavior like that which we see trying to dominate our world today. I always enjoy my time spent in your den, for I never leave here hungry and I am always left with an ort or two to chew upon for a while.
Take care,
Sherry

Language of the street and yet archetypal parable as well, your story-telling is as provocative and compelling as your poetry for certain sure. You have an uncanny ability to speak in tongues of angels whilst yet in the sassy colloquialisms of hardened mankind... producing a message that needs to be heralded and heard not only by shepherds and kings, but also by those with ears to hear... and especially, perhaps, those who don't! :)) Don't know about Halloween... must seem like every day of the week to some unfortunate souls... LOL K xx

I agree with Andre below completely..

You work wonders in poetic symbolism and allegory that ignites the passion of the spirit

The symbolistical imagery of “A Coat and Shoes for Halloween” stimulates visions easily identifed as those of John ~ “The Divine” in Revelations/Apocalypse, and takes the readers to awareness ~alerting them~ “not look to demons of ignorance for hope.”

“A Coat and Shoes for Halloween” adds a new page of literary glowing to the history of Poetry.

I salute You, Poet.

In gratitude and admiration,

An exquisite image ...

One can only hope that the children will not follow in the footsteps of evil, nor, ever make it an option. There is too much moral and spiritual decay in this present society.

Although graphic ... "A Coat and Shoes for Halloween" has strong
currents of right and wrong, and effectively points out the need for personal conscience to embrace natural justice instead of those wooing temptations that cause most to stumble into pits of despair and sin because they reach out to evil spirits for strength and guidance.

An excellent write from the heart and mind of a gifted visionary.

Light and Wisdom ...

You have characters of diverse highs and lows. Your creativity is always
reliable when it comes to make-up. Aberjhani...you rule in the deep thoughts of man's suspicions of the past and within himself. This is a colored pen of character, adventure and the abyss where the mystery lives for all of us. Thank you for the exposure here. It is art personified my dear brother of Savannah. Kiss her for me.

Love,
Susan
