Slaughterhouse

comets strike terror bombing nations rapid fire... a slaughterhouse roasts spiked towers pierce flesh… drenched with blood of raw corpses like clotheslines on trees from skies tainted black grounds crumble into thin rust… world in drained sandbag then, God says enough angels swoop to tend remains… guarding earth anew .......... . .. Gail Doyle's Contest End of the World Armageddon

Congrats on your win with this very graphic write, Nette! Scary visuals, but then I don't imagine the end of the world will be pretty. Love, Kim

You could rewrite the Book of Revelation with this type of work. You could make St. John envious.

Gripping images of corpses like clotheslines on trees...brilliant! I don't think Gail minds if it's senryu, right...it was more of the syll count that she was concerned with...I love this entry! No revelational writes for me...Daniel and John corn-fuse me with hidden pictures of symbolism...I do love the Bible tho'. When it all does come tumbling down, I truly wonder how close we were to understandin' these foretold events?...Great luck in this contest...altho u won't need any. Love, Gwendolen

Hey, I have to tell you a big thanks for the Writing the Bones book...I revisited it b4 writing a recent free verse...that author, although terribly monotonous in her voice, gives great advice! I have her book on tape. :) thanks, Nette...rather, Prof. Nette!

This is interesting and stimulating work but I believe it is senryu since it has a 5 7 5 word count but is not about about nature. Love & Peace Matthew Anish
