Hi. Nailed the lid on those rules of contest. I hope the judges dance you to a first.
I'm away and computer time is limited...i will try to keep up, but doubt I will be able to.
Good luck. Padumachitta

    Thanks so much, padu, and sorry about the delayed reply. We just finished up our Halloween charity haunt, so it's been pretty crazy here the past month.

    While the poem isn't doing all that well in the contest booth right now, I appreciate your kind comments and exceptional rating all the more.

    Thanks again! :}

Great rhyming.
Creative language and unique story line.
I'm sure all of us would be joining the poor doctor had we witnessed such frenzied antics in the morgue.
Good job.

Well, of course. What else would one expect? It may well have been the first time he had seen corpses living it up. Very good work.

This is absolutely great, Dean. The title, Abra Cadaver, is a great play on words and a super attention getter. This made me laugh out loud. I pictured those corpses partying away and having fun. That mortician shouldn't have been such a stiff. He should have let his hair down and got in the groove with the dead guys! LOL

This is a great Halloween piece. Good luck in the contest.

Ha! This is a great meter isn't it? This is perfect for your tale. It just pops along with all the mayhem and ghoulishness and suits it to a tee. It took me a year to learn iambic. This seems so much more natural and it reads that way too. I read this through the first time without a hitch. Delightful. This should be a blood bath. Lots of good entries!! Good luck. mikey

Yes sir Dean! This is absolutely wonderful to read. I will go at it again after I finish this little review. Unfortunately I do not have a six star rating left to give or it would already be done. Abra Cadaver, I mean dammit that is the perfect title for this smashing piece. You are a clever, clever man and I admire that. God Bless!

Well I guess that is not too bad - I'm sure he would rather be a ward of the state then have to go back to work! LOL fun creepy romp.

Well done for a superbly presented poem and layout. Your story poem tells a fascinating tale of satire-gloom without spelling it out. Perfect with Halloween coming up.
