Hi Sharyn,
it's like my wife says, you've got to sleep sometimes!!! Not to say she says that at me, more to me.
You actually scared me a bit with this dark cloud looming onto your words.
No way I'm ever playing games with you, I'd be fresh meat for someone who could throw down like this.
I think you hit this prompt with a sledge hammer, how did you go in the contest?
I would say queen took all!! Great emotional landslide Sharyn! Loved it.
Kindest thoughts, no really!! Kindest thoughts
James xx

    hey James - didn't win, but had fun exploring the dark side dear! Now I DO have to reassure you that I didn't turn sociopath overnight on you, ok??? (though I have been to these places and remember them - lots of grist for the writing mill!) I enjoy a variety of poetry, just in case you haven't noticed! :)))

I like this a lot.... It reminds me of a warning my dad used to give me: the most dangerous people are the ones with nothing to loose. lol. It flows nicely and reads well, and your choice of art and layout compliment the piece superbly.

Your poem is so poignantly written it enables us to feel the negative emotions almost in a downward spiral, like the feelings are slowly enveloping you.

    You've got the idea EXACTLY Opal ... I start by saying I have no emotion, right? but from the rest of it you get the heat. Very perceptive reading - thank you so much!

Very well done and I highly enjoyed your author note. Many will criticize the presentation of true emotions with accompanying reactions here.

    They will indeed, Diane ... I already had one man tell me it looked like I was "trying way too hard" or words to that effect and he didn't like my picture - then gave me 3 stars. C'est la vie. I'm just following the prompt, and if wants more rainbows and flowers then he should stick to them, right? :))))))))))

Oooo, great write!!! Such horror inside, toxic and dangerous; but sorrowful too, for it's the Queen, talking to her King...fabulous poem! I won't even wish the author luck, because I don't think it's needed to win. A six, if I had it.

    Bless you, Dawn - we'll see! Fun to write evil occasionally - though I should probably add a note to reassure people that it's fiction and no, I haven't gone all sociopathic on them! Thx for your wishful '6'!
