Excellent picture that complements your rhyming poem so well. I have read and watched TV about Jack the Ripper. But I did not know the legend of this woman that kills him in return in your poem.

This is a well written poem, and I greatly enjoyed reading your work. You have been able to muster depictions from deep within the secret recesses of Jack's heart that allows us to hear, in his own words, the emotions he felt while attending to his ghastly deeds. You have been able to use and create your poem with letters assembled together to form words, just as a painter would use his brush to create a canvas that tells a story. My compliments on a wonderfully written poem. Six stars is not enough, but all that I can provide. Continued good luck and best wishes in all of your writing adventures.

During the nineteenth and even in today's world, the truth has been maligned for more dastardly headlines. This is very well written.

Hi Dean Kuch,

The legends swirling around the Ripper and his victims out class or certainly surpass, his actual reign of terror. It is most likely that he simply died, one theory being that he was possibly already dying of some venereal disease when he set out on his spree - hence his targetting prostitutes.

Suitably thrilling image to accompany the poem, itself a nice bit of horror.

Patrick

A 6 and a virtual 10 for this very masterfully done spot of blood-letting here. I must admit though I am glad it is only 6 AM and I have all day to get over it. I will sleep with the lights on though tonight...I might just have to bill you for the extra electricity usage.

Thanks for my early cup of gore - I think - Dinah

Well now! THAT would have certainly been just reward for the Ripper, wouldn't it? 'course... that would also imply... he was still among us... right? (gulp!)

Your gift for telling terrible tales with such macabre twists is astounding!

Greetings Dean Kuch,

Yikes! Eerily similar to Poe, this story should have been entered into FanStory's contest, Tell a Story Within a Poem. It would surely have been a winner. I really had no trouble with any of it except for this one line: "soon, my heart was all aflutter, why - just then - I couldn't say." I would omit the "just" and write simply: "why then, I could not say." It virtually says the same thing but the hitting on syllables is shifted which evens out the flow as you read it. (I could be wrong, though) A spooky write, Dean Kuch, and fun to read. ;) Chrisfiore

    Hey, thanks for the sentiments you've expressed here, Chrisfiore. I used to enter quite a few contests, but it seems my writing style is too...identifiable these days. Now, I rarely enter. However, I still enjoy entertaining my fellow writers, as best I can.

    Thanks again for the wonderful review.

Dean, I about did number one and two when I saw this wicked image of this creature. The music is gory, I was thinking about going to sleep. however, I changed my plans. This is a genius tale of Jack the Ripper. You got my vote, Dean. You're most definitely, the king of horror on this site. I give you that! The author notes really are a bonus. I must save this beauty in my archives for halloween and play it! Should frighten them trick or treators. I got to give you a six for this. wackydo I got a contest comiing up, in chapter three of my novel. Got to solve the riddle to win your Booty. Good luck! First one who solves this riddle gets the prize. wackydo

Hi, Dean. Very well written story here in poetic form. I found the tale most interesting as here to for I only had a brief knowledge of Jack's trek of murder and mayhem. He killed and gutted prostitutes, did he not?

Never solved, eh? Weird.

Good write as usual, Dean. I like the background music too. LOL...Bob

    Thanks so much, Bob, you're the best!

    Nope, he was never captured, and all of his cases went unsolved. Of course, forensic sciences in the 1800's weren't what they are today, yet...I still wonder if he'd be caught, even now.

    I appreciate the fabulous review. They call you "Mastery" for a reason, LOL!
