I love this, especially the photo, such imagery of painful emotion. My hat is off to the writers that enter FanStory contests. I don't like to write what others want me to write- I guess I am too selfish. I like to write whatever I want.
Good luck! Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Warrior Priestess
A nice play on the typical "No trespassing" or "Trespassers not allowed" kind of signs. But hmm, I suspect on the road to hell the signs may be more subtle! Also a very cute twist on all of us who at times 'trespass'. Thought provoking read. Thanks.

Comment from Mustang Patty
Dear Author; the devil holds up ALL kinds of signs - he tells us that liquor is legal and causes no harm, along with cigarettes and driving fast. He tells us that doing drugs is okay - we aren't hurting anyone but ourselves - and gambling - who does that hurt? Yes, he is so evil and has so many fun and shiny things to attract us with. Well done. Good luck in the contest. ~patty~

Comment from Fiona Hymn
Creative and original, the meaning in this Senryu is many. Intriguing in the way the imagination can raom, this is a fun way to ponder certain derelictions in humanity. Nice use of words to maintain the syllable count and the integrity of the style. A pleasure to read.

This meets all the requirements of the contest as to form and syllable count, and the satori is darkly clever. Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer

Comment from Alan K Pease
A darkly humorous cynical poem pointing out the human foibles in the victim on the park bench who had a invitation to visit Hell by a generous Devil who welcomes all Trespassers. Good work. Your competitors will have something to contend with.
