Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

In the Midst of Mist

The ever present presence of what we can't make out.
Reassures the mind that there just cannot be a doubt.
A world beyond the concious realm exist's and alway's will.
But talking to the other side is just brain cells that you kill.

So take a nap and don't wake up and join the living dead.
Believing in an after life is not just in your head.
Where can we turn to understand the many shades of thought?
When battle's with the evil demons, we never even fought.

The gates of hell and prison door's release sooner or later.
But next time you should take the stairs and not the elevator.
For ghost's can fly upon a wing where angel's fear to tread.
And foolish pact's with so few fact's can just leave you for dead.

For the Angel of the Odd contest

Andrea Dietrich February 27, 2014 at 8:19 PM HI again, my friend. So you watch many adam sandler films. I like some of his stuff, especially that one about the wedding singer! Robert Johnson February 28, 2014 at 6:22 PM He's great. I like the one he was in with Jennifer Anniston. Of course, I might have been slighted by that fact alone. :)

Debra Squyres February 24, 2014 at 11:15 AM You have jumped into this with great skill of writing !! Thought provoking for sure... excellent rhyme scheme as well. Enjoyed the read and best of luck in the contest !!

Andrea Dietrich February 24, 2014 at 8:27 AM Robert , the elevator part reminded me of a cool movie I saw several years ago of the devil causing havoc in elevators. good one. Had you seen that movie?? Robert Johnson February 24, 2014 at 9:50 AM Nope! Not that I recall. You know how it is. When looking for a rhyme. :) Thanks for always visiting my friend. Peace. :)

Ilene Bauer February 24, 2014 at 8:12 AM I'll bet you had a lot of fun writing this poem but i'm sure it wasn't easy! the result is amazing! i especially love the rhyme of later and elevator... Robert Johnson February 24, 2014 at 10:01 AM I feel the need to expound on that last comment. You've been sick. :) Hope your feeling better. Peace. :) Robert Johnson February 24, 2014 at 9:54 AM I read the short story and just went from there. Aside from blurbs of the Raven, that's the first Poe I've read. Will certainly have to check out more. Loved the inspiration it gave. Thanks for stopping by ilene. Now go blow your nose. :) Peace. :)
