Excellent

Dean;
I found the recording to be a little bit scratchy but very effective. I used to go to parochial school and was taught by nuns and I know exactly what you mean by their stare. It is enough to tear your soul right out from your heart, if you been bad.
Your poem was well-written being in very enjoyable to read and always you perfected a way of getting to the reader. And this is done with an excellent picture that complement your writing and well written words that effectively transcends a reader into a horrifying feeling.
Thank you for sharing and posting amid the good Lord be with you always, Dean.
Alex

Thanks, Alex, the recording is made that way, with the scratchy effect, like an old, worn-out record.

I always appreciate your kind and thoughtful reviews.

Much obliged. :)

Ha-ha, well, Catholic churches do hold lots of fish fries, country ranch writer, so I can't say as I blame you, LOL!

Thanks for the review. :D

This is quite scary! LOL Great music and picture mixed with the horror of the words. Halloween words -- meant to scare the weak and terrorize dreams! Great stuff this is -- stuff meant to haunt and taunt.

Excellent

Before I even got to the poem, I was creeped out by the artwork and music. Ha
You certainly have provided me with nightmare material. Thanks a lot, Dean. The formatting was great and the words properly HORRIFYING. You did a good job on this one but scared me to death.

Well, that just means that I did the job I set out to do, gypsycaravan, LOL. I truly appreciate your wonderful comments. :)

Comment from Domino 2

Exceptional

Terrific fun and spooky music, Dean, that becomes more dramatic as Sister Greene feasts on a few monks who were 'staring'. Jeez - it's weird and gives me the shivers.

I'm praying away here!

Fantastic presentation and spooky words.

For originality alone, it's worth my sixer.

Cheers, mate.

Thanks a million, Rayman, I really appreciate that, and I am very glad that you liked this one. I searched long and hard -- over three hours! -- to find what I felt was the perfect musical accompaniment for this. Everything was so over-the-top, and I simply wanted something kind of nursery rhyme-ish, not over powering. I found this music completely by accident.

This was my first-ever minute poem, but it was a blast to create.

Thanks so much again, I sincerely appreciate it. :)

reply by Domino 2 on 08-Oct-2014

No probs, Deano.

So...it's a THREE HOUR PLUS 'minute' poem. ;-)

reply by the author on 08-Oct-2014

Ha-ha, yeah, when you look at it in that light, that's exactly what it is, LOL. :D

I never need to look at the name of the writer - I just know who is writing when I see a horrific picture. But your Minute poem is perfect in form and content. Well displayed as usual - Warm regards Dorothy x Good Luck!

Fortunately for me I was never taught by nuns, so I never saw the paralysing, admonishing stares, I loved your well composed, well formatted poem, Dean, nice precise, aabb rhyming, reads really well out loud, we could terrify a few people with this one, Well done, blessings, Roy.

OMG - suitably creepy, Dean. A good, strong contender for the Minute Poem contest. I'm not a big fan of the Minute Poem because of its long/short lines, but you do well with it. Creepy and short lines go together so well.
