Linda-Marie Sweetheart Poet Nonet

Spiritual Struggle

   "Spiritual Struggle"

Part One - Visit to Hell

fiery flames tantalized torment
screams of horror choked inside throat
demons danced inviting souls
gripped into fear and fright
pitchforks pierced sweet flesh
no mercy shown
dark dungeon
devil
feasts ...


Part Two - Salvation from Heaven

saved
prayers heard
miracle
God is Greater
most powerful Being
loves me with all my flaws
enfolds me in His safe arms
grace has rescued a wanton heart
love is stronger than essence of Death ...

Russell Sivey July 24, 2012 at 3:59 PM What a wonderful way to approach this contest Linda-Marie! I hate to tell you this but you are missing a line in your Visit to Hell Nonet! The 5 syllable line is missing! I noticed you had only eight lines in the first nonet and thought something was missing! It was the 5 syllable line! I hope you don't mind me telling you this! I just wanted you to have a good shot at this contest! This is a very incredible write as it is my friend! I really enjoyed reading this fabulous poem! Great Work!!
