Excellent

I love this image of Thaddeus Jones, good looking corpse like that wasn't obviously, showing and revealing for all time, that not all the best written poems belong to goodies! Nice flowing poem displaying and cataloging all the virtues or otherwise of Thaddeus Jones! Great entry in this contest, hope you do well! Loved it! Blessings, Roy.

Definitely creepy! Enough to generate a nightmare or two. The eeriest part was when the dying Thaddeus dragoons you, the last remaining member of his audience, to carry on his work.

Exceptional

Bravo! This isn't my genre but you had me from beginning to end. Your poem flowed well with good progressionb and rhytm. The rhyming was unforced and natural (a strange word for this poem) You words are intelligent and challenging and as a reader I have not read better. Good luck in the voting.

Thanks very much, rjpurdy. The fact that this genre isn't one that you prefer makes your exceptional rating and high praise all the more wonderful to me.

I sincerely appreciate that, my friend, and have a wonderful weekend. :}

I am sure the only words needed are 'Congratulations' as this will certainly be the winner. Another stunning piece against which others cannot compete.

Huh-uh, I don't think so, Monica. I only entered this contest in the first place because the turnout wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be, and I'm not doing too well right now. I think you have a much better chance than I, but thanks for saying so just the same, my friend. :}

Your poem tells a great, scary story. I like the rhyme within the lines. I like the presentation of the work with the evil picture. I see nothing to change. Good job and good luck in the contest.

Excellent

The magician and his tricks have long been attributed to Satan. What people don't understand they fear. If that will make my review save, I'll conclude: excellent.

You're right, LIJ Red. Satan and his minions have taken the blame for many of man's shortcomings when in reality, it was the evil in the hearts of men that was to blame.

Thanks so much for the review. I'm glad ya liked it!
