There is something truly special about throwing things down an elevator shaft. Maybe it's the screams echoing all the way down the shaft, the spatter of the blood and guts, or the more metaphorical shattered dreams. Whichever it is, this is pretty imaginative.
If I wanted to win the reviewing contest this month I'd be giving out these sixes to authors I have not visited yet, but whatever. Your profile archives are a reliable source for a laugh.

Yeah, it's too bad they don't let you give more than just one reviewer nomination a month. You'd win just from the ones I gave you. Lol.
I thought the elevator shaft was a nice touch too. Haha. It's a shame how people on here don't appreciate a good killing or great works of art like Zulrasha. That piece actually took me long time to write. Glad to see you bookmarked it, my friend.
Thank you for the huge sixer, Dan. I'd give you another reviewer nomination but it won't let me.
Whenever you're looking for a laugh, I'm sure you'll you can always find something for a chuckle in my crap. Tahnks again, D.
Later.
Ron

WOW! This contest is competitive and every poem I read seems deserving of a vote. Yours is especially well-written and includes the creativity necessary to set it apart. Good luck.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Ann. I really appreciate the generous stars and kind comments. I'm glad you liked the piece.
Comment from Gene Brady
Your rhyming scheme works very well.
Nice, consistent theme all through the poem, with the justification payoff at the end. After reading the ending I went back through the poem and realized he did do his hits for altruistic reasons.

Thank you for the great review, Gene. I really appreciate the generous stars, friend. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have yourself a great weekend.
Comment from Eunice Amero
A very good poem. The picture speaks for itself. You said she drowned deep in the hole. Was it the mirror, if so it should be it.. It sounds like the girls boyfriend died and she went to the dance with him. Was he a ghost? Sometimes it gets to you to not win and you wonder if you should stay here. But I love writing and the friendly people so I stay.

Thank you for the great review, Eunice. Yes, it was the minor, not mirror, in the hole. The girl went to the prom with his brother because the boyfriend was dead. I was just limited on space, trying to cram the whole idea in one stanza. Haha. I love the people and competitions as well. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

Dear Mystery Writer,
What a fun post! This meets the criteria of the contest WONDERFULLY and brought several smiles as I read. There were some over-the-top clever parts here - the elevator with that smooth wording, for example. Remind me to stay on your good side! Love it and can't imagine anything that could beat this one! Good luck!

Thank you for the great review, Robyn. When I got to thinking about this contest, this idea came to mind and I had to go with the most ridiculous things someone would kill for. Lol. I'm just glad elevator was in meter. Haha. I really appreciate the stars and good luck wishes, R. I'm glad you liked this silliness. Thank you again.
