Dean: You know the story. . .I'm out of 6ers but this one deserves a 10. . .I admit, that having the poem, the full screen picture, the unholy sound effects are a great experience while reviewing poetry which sometimes just puts me to sleep (but don't tell anyone). You are my poetic hero, Mr. Wonderful! Linda

Well, I pray my poetry never puts you to sleep, Linda. In fact, I hope it makes sleeping even hard sometimes, LOL...

Hey, it's good to be somebody's hero, and I'll certainly be glad to be yours!

Thanks for the fantastic review. As always, I am very grateful...

Well, this poem is certainly appropriate for Halloween, but I thought a wedding had to be vows exchanged by two people... How is the bride going to say, "I do?", when asked do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The poem is very well written, good rhyming and flow. It sounds like one Edgar Alan Poe might have written. Great job, Dean.

Yeah, I thought the same things when I read this bizarre tale, pick. It turns out the two were already verbally committed, and I guess in their society, that means something.

Thanks for the great review, my friend!

Your poem is extremely thought provoking especially after reading your notes. The layers within your writing do bring many thoughts and ideals into question. I suppose at the end days it would all boil down to one's true heart.
Thank you for sharing this. Your writing is amazing.

I can't say I've actually wed a corpse, but some of the girlfriends I've had have come pretty close.

Well done, Dean! Nobody does this stuff like you do it, and the effects, art work and overall "feel" are masterly.

Hah, yeah, and I can't say that I'd be a hopeless enough romantic to do so, wither, LOL...

Thanks so much for the great review, Rondeno. Much appreciated, my friend!

No doubt about it, truth is stranger than fiction. Truth inspires me all the time and your poem with your explanation made that even clearer. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, JM, I really appreciate it!

I've come to learn lately that there's so much "whacky" stuff out there, it's really not hard to find inspiration somewhere. The only difference between you and I, along with a few others here, seem to dredge it up from the weirdest places, LOL...

Thanks again, my friend.

Overall, presentation is just superb! The black background with the cobwebbed corpse and the author notes create a perfect Halloween treat for the eyes and ears. My favorite:
"Cool cobwebbed crypt, o' vaulted shame,
how dost thy anchored ancients sing?" Nice alliteration. Thanks for sharing. Les

Dean, you'll send me to an early grave...
well, to heaven, actually, since Colin
says I'm an angel. Just haven't been
good enough to earn my wings yet.

this is an absolutely amazing poem, gives me the shivers,
and the noises... ugh!! I'm not going to listen anymore.

I hope you're putting these in a book of horrors!!

Hah, ain't it the truth, Karen? I couldn't believe that story when I first read it. It sure takes all kinds, I suppose.

Thanks so much for the fantastic review, and have a very safe and Happy Halloween!

I almost missed the picture of the demon at the bottom, but I am so glad that I took a closer look at the picture. It must have been because of the scream. I was good with the wind and the squeaking door, but the scream got me. Had to laugh for a few minutes and then hubby had to see why I was laughing. He was already in the room when I read your earlier post and he kept asking me "what's that noise?" I'm still laughing, but hope he doesn't pull anything on me later. lol Great poem and just perfect for Halloween.
