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 3/26/2023 Hell Haiku Sponsor: Robert James Liguori

Thank you, Christuraj! There are “safe spaces” here but in hell, not so… sobering

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:)

What a stench ridden place of torment. a hell where fire and brimstone are eternally stoked,a place where the devil resides. A well penned write about a horrid place, well depicted - a place of horrors - good luck in the contest. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Satan hates God. He could never recover any purity.

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 !
