Notes About The Poem

'grimm' Tales of Dread

Jacob and Wilhelm are the Brothers Grimm
Whose tales of horror flow over cup's brim
I heard that some who have read
Were cursed and later found dead

The chance that you will survive is quite slim

Thank you, Che, but it didn't even place. I'll take the opinions of the many poets who liked it over that of one judge. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Wow, this rather quite sums up the Brother's Grimm's Tales, scary things they are! I never got into their tales that much, but they do have a few that are pretty good! I really loved reading your tremendous poem here this morning! What a superior piece, Great Work!!
