On the Good Ship Lollypop

Rats on board, there are bodies rotting, reek, permeates our so called dwelling. The oxygen is thin, death has the best seat here. Blood rolls down one man's lip. He knows we all see it's not his own. The ship is sailing to a new land, laying on top of the dead is hope. 24~12~2014 Maurice Yvonne Sponsor: nette onclaud Contest Name: ENCHANTMENT THROUGH A PRISM 2.

Hi Maurice, Before I started to write my comments I instantly registered a 7 for this stunning item. Nice juxtaposition of title to subject matter. Brilliant images with just the right flavor and hint of vampire activity. Very clever language usage in your dark prism. A well deserved win. Good for you. Have a prosperous and very Happy New Year. I wish you the best of the best. Earl

Congratulations on your win, Maurice! I love your last word, "Hope!" No matter how bad things are, there is always that thought! Best wishes to you and yours for a wonderful New Year. Sandra

Congratulations on a worthy win, Maurice (or should I say Armand!). This is a powerfully dark picture you present us with; but hope will fill the sails to bring the ship to shore. Do I see a slight tinge of personification here? // paul

I think that the "lollypop" has become petrified. Good luck in the contest.

wow, this is a powerful one~~ very different from the ones being posted generally! the last line was so cool though. PUtting hope into it. the contrast of theme with title was really good, Maurice. I love how you chose that title!!
