"Dante's Hell" was that the poem?

Yes, Andrea, and thanks for liking it. The title popped into my head from a moving poem I once read from one of the great masters who wrote about Hell. Who I think was responding to another poet? I don't think that was the title of his poem though.I think it was an epic poem.I should remember the poet's name, but it escapes me.I know it was a long poem... And congrats again on your top win, #1,"Thundering Falls" Darlene
