Exercising My Demons

With my Angels exorcised-
I Exercise my Devils
Daren't you guess what this implies?
In Evil doth I revel!

Shout and swear; curse and cuss
In the Bowels of Tartarus!
Sweet Lucifer! I do concur-
Heaven- it's just not for us!

hope you are not serious, but I sure do like your poem. I was hoping you had not done a typo in your poem's title. And as soon as I read the first two lines, I realized you were just playing on words and I really liked that unique element of your poem!

lol No, of course not, Andrea; it was one of my silly musings. I don't believe in the Devil at all. I was hoping the title might entice more people to read, especially since it did seem like I made a grammatical error lol. Thanks for stopping by and for the review and reply :)

Thanks, sweet pea ;) I have this love/hate relationship with religion, and I like to muse about the Devil, even though I don't even believe in him. I love the Lord, and enjoy playing with religion-inspired musings. Thanks for reading, hon <3

I sincerely hope this never becomes your reality. You are formed to walk in heavenly places.

No, of course not, my friend. I love the Lord; I just enjoy, as I told Robin, to muse over the Devil, despite the fact that I do not even believe he or hell exists. Thanks for stopping by, Richard :)
