Oblivion

Obsidian hearts – no longer beating - Buried under magna and turned to stone. Lodged in stupor – consciousness deleting - In a state where the sun has never shone. Vast emptiness surrounds them now like outer space. Infinitude of blackness . . . is this hell? Obtuseness overwhelmed them and stole their grace. Never-ending nothingness – it serves them well. Sept. 23, 2021 - Theme #1: Oblivion For the '''O'' Contest, NEW POEMS' Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Wonderfully done Andrea! I especially love the volcanic image of magna around an "obsidian heart" blotting out light and life. Congratulations on your win and high fives for this gem that gets to the "heart" of stone cold hearts.

I especially liked this line "Infinitude of blackness . . . is this hell?" But I like the entire missive.

Congratulations. They say, hell is here on earth... must be all the high and mighty with all their power and money getting more greedy and self-grandiosity while others are homeless and malnourished. Have a great week-end.

WoW! Andrea, You nailed this contest challenge. And hit the ball out of the park. I wanted to use the word “ oblivion,” but I couldn’t come up with anything. You described the word to a T. That sounds like hell( or a type of hell ). Good content and imagery. Congrats in advance- Alexis

Yes, Alexis, it would be like hell!!! Thank you for the comment.
