This was a contest entry on another site. It didn't win. :(

The challenge: Write about Heaven or Hell without using key words.

I chose Hell LOL: could not use: Hell, devil, fire, gate/s, Satan, demon/s, evil, or religion.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ... so this is what I came up with.

Even though it didn't win, it was fun to write:


Poem Artwork

"I WAS LIED TO!"

I am intimately familiar with pain.
It is my forever companion.
It burns.  O, how it burns!
I am tormented.  I writhe to escape
to before,
when I saw the world, followed my desires;
listened to a little voice in my ear;
I earned a first class ticket here:
dammit!!  I was lied to.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (4/9)

Wow! What a write...a thought provoking write...this is a write that stirs the very depth of one's being. For the enemy is a liar...his job is to kill, steal, and destroy....many have lost everything by listening to his deceptive lies. Outstanding write...so much said within the lines. Write on dear friend, this was very powerful!

Seems that truth is passé and that lies are the new and lasting fade.
