I really enjoyed reading this. It could have easily worked just as well as a story or a poem. It's so unique, and has a real fantasy-like quality to it. I'm glad you put in the author's notes because it makes things a lot clearer for people who - like myself - don't know much about Jim Morrison.

A fantastic tribute to Jim Morrison. You used a lot of imagery like: "Lizard King, Snakes, Komodo Dragons, and Monsoons of blood" I think if Morrison were alive he'd get a kick out this. Well done! Les

Almost like a Garden of Eden scene, where the Morrison (devil) says if you eat this you will be all knowing, or if your wear this you will sing like the Lizard King. Jim Morrison was a little out there, as I remember from his real life and not his legendary stories that are going around now. Well-written and Errrie!

    I didn't even think about that allusion to the book of Genesis until you mentioned it Doc. I can see it now thank you for your review and the Biblical interpertation of my work.

This is a very interesting story in a poem. I did not know that was Jim Morrison's nickname. It does fit well here in your well written poem.

A very vibrant presentation that pulls the reader into your page begging to be read. Creepy stuff and I guess it would be wise not to accept gifts from people you don't really know. I don't like snakes but you sure got me to read about them...good and unique and imaginative write...thank you for this gem - Dinah

I really enjoyed reading this most unusual poem. Your images are vivid, to say the least. I am not a fan of creeping things, so it made me squirm.

Perhaps you should have sung The Sound Of silence. Great write

This is a good write. I like the visuals... I began to panic.
The room was filled with reptiles.
Snakes, Komodo Dragons, had taken their seats,
To watch me sing.
Going up to the microphone,
I felt something burning me.
Nice visuals here. Was this really your dream?

I think you have an interesting idea here but I'm not convinced it gells together all that well. I think you still need to polish this piece up. Lines like Feasting on me until I was dead is a little redundant and 'and he gave me a dark red ring' the second one should be something like... Either a darkened ring... Darkened ruby ring. I just think that A dark red ring kills the tempo and flow here unless a dark red ring is a line from one of his songs?

Anyway nice work.
