Hell

 HELL

a toxic vile stench
inhumane…not meant for man —
earth’s worst smell…not close

dread no demon dressed
in red and with pointy ears —
NO…the loss of God

can’t see and can’t hear
no one to mess with in hell —
you’re the one in mess

if only you go
insane…but you’re most aware —
of outer limits

hellfire damnation
all too real — you can’t flee from
unsafe space of hell

Daniel Turner Date: 3/27/2023 6:55:00 AM Good one, Kim. "You can't flee" we talk it about here on earth, we joke about, laugh about it, even tell people to go there but I can assure you two things, they will be no laughter in hell and there will be no escaping. Be well Kim:) Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 3/27/2023 7:58:00 AM Thank you, Daniel.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 3/27/2023 2:14:00 AM What a stench ridden place of torment. a hell where fire and brimstone are eternally stoked,a place where the devil resides.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 3/27/2023 1:13:00 AM Satan hates God. He could never recover any purity. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 3/27/2023 3:51:00 AM Very true.

Valsa George Date: 3/26/2023 9:33:00 PM Great set of haikus. Kim you have rightly put- it is the absence of God that makes hell a place of doom. Also "no one to mess with in hell — you’re the one in mess" . Great truth! All the Best in the contest, dear ! Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 3/27/2023 3:50:00 AM Thank you, Valsa!
