Comment from Alchera

Good

The 13 word counting is exact and the content describes, expressing well, the macabre scene represented. The picture selected doesn't focus the reality described due to the knife which has not been completely immersed into the skull so it is not covered with blood.

Thank you, Alchera for taking the time to review my piece. Would this piece have brought more stars without the picture? This feedback would be helpful in my future endeavors.
God bless
Steve

reply by Alchera on 09-Nov-2019

I think so because the picture as betrayed you! Even the part of the body could have been neck/more
pouring blood instead of skull. May God bless you from Italy

'Careful who you hang out with' I love that description. This is certainly horror at it's finest. The artwork is so gross I nearly didn t read it and your gory words are a perfect match. Horror ... ble. Good luck in the competition. I think you should win. Jen.

Thank you, Jen, for this exceptional six-star review. I would love to win one of these contests. Not sure what the others look like. I enjoy this genre but don't ever want to be in its company.
God bless

Yeah, I'll want to stay away from this guy. He can't use MY skull to get his creep on. I sure hope they catch him soon. That picture is the perfect creepy match. Best of luck in the contest.

I have been waiting for A real slice of horror to be offered up : )) it should definitely horrify and terrify most. I loved the fusion of picture and words. A definite contender as far as I'm concerned.
I think we have similar minds( i posted a bloody one too : )) truly, ha ha. Good Luck !

Wow! Very well constructed, Steve. I think it is as gross as gross can get, but isn't that what is to be expected in this contest? Good luck to you in the contest btw. I trust you will win, my friend. : ) Bob

Comment from Gail Denham

Grossity - to the max. Intoxicating? I think not - to hold your gags in would be more my reaction. and then there's epstein who hung himself with collar three feet off the floor? Now there's a case of not hanging, but murder it seems as if. Yet no one does anything.
there - I've shown some of my anger - apologize.
gross, but good for the contest -poem.

Thank you, Gail for the awesome review. I enjoy crafting in this genre but never would be able to handle the real thing. This guy fell and work(restaurant)and the broken plate cut off his little finger. It shot across the floor and hit my foot. I passed smooth out lol.
God bless
Steve

reply by Gail Denham on 09-Nov-2019

wow - what a horrible experience you had. Our son had a friend who accidently stuck his hand in the meat grinder at the pizza place. awful. and last evening talked with a guy who got his finger stuck in a something-or-other in a car engine, but he still has the finger. careful out there folks.

reply by the author on 09-Nov-2019

That has been one of my biggest fears about having a garbage disposal. Uh! a meat grinder, there's a tragic story.

Comment from Therese Caron

For many reasons, be careful who you hang out with was well said. As for your poem itself, it Is amazing and sums up all of our worst fears. Well done!
