Mountain of Madness

Mountain of Madness Mystical powers of dark secrets live here Ordinary people will change from the fear Underneath the dirt is home to its demons Narcissism is this mountains achievement Terrifying crevices and hollow creeks Anarchist climate not for the weak Intelligence lives within its whispering winds Nighttime encloses all men in sin Omnipotent when you listen to unspoken words Frightening in a manner that's quite absurd Maniacal is its theme to which you relate Agonizing in no memories as it captures your fate Delirious you'll become if you travel too far Numbing your mind in a mental spar Echoes of everything to drive you insane Solidifying its control of your meager brain Silently you weep because you can't remember your name 05/16/16

It definitely was a difficult contest for me to judge ... the themes and styles that people wrote in were so incredibly varied. I tend to gravitate towards a lot of imagery and metaphors, as my personal preference ... I wish I would have wrote for your Fire Contest in time ... lol.

Reading your poem takes me back to 1999! (no fooling) My marriage ended before Christmas that year. On top of all that had a Power Point presentation to give the next day. I don't know how I did it but my presentation on the 1970 Kent State shooting was a sensation in my Desktop Publishing class. During that time spent most of my time at a lake up the mountains! Great write!
