July

Death Is here, At the door With boiling arms And macabre charms To lend a gnarly hand And escort my life away, On an exclusive one-way trip Through July hell ‘til it sheds its grip, Halting when through the Pearly Gates I slip.

I really liked this but one line was off on syllable count. Otherwise, i would have placed it higher. Great images, David and congrats to you.

Andrea, Thank you for the kind comment. On which line did I miss the syllable count? I can make a small change to improve the Etheree. David
