Unquenchable thirst…many don’t consider. Still the worst will be no longer having the mercies of God. Congratulations, Joanna!

where the worm dies not--chasm away from God the realm of utter darkness ~ torment forever... aptly evocative of the contest theme. Splendid haiku poems, Jo.

As you’ve said. People joke of what they know not. The greatest loss is of God and his grace.
