Thanks for seeing it as I intended, stephybs. It's really not meant to be eerie or scary in any way. It's just about old family secrets and generational curses that the families wish would remain buried. Yet despite their best efforts, they somehow still manage to get out.

Your review is sincerely appreciated.

This is an excellent Minute poem, creepy too. Your imagery is as good as the illustration you've put with it, and continues with each stanza, and I really do not want to go to Fiddler's Field! Actually, I don't like going near any cemetery at night! Good luck in the contest! :) Sandra.

Thank you, Sandra. Some old families have ancient buried secrets and generational curses which haunt them forever, secrets they would rather never get "out". This poem refers to some of them.

Much obliged.

If I was to look closely into my family history, I am sure I would find some of those ancient secrets we don't want to release. :) xxx

Yeah, we all have a few. :)

Hi to the unknown author. A really spooky write, but I did enjoy the read. It leaves a sense on the macabre, and is so well done. Thanks, alf

I enjoyed reading this piece. You had me hooked from the first stanza all the way through. There's a great use of imagery here: the age old crypt sits silent - still, a woeful place where evil thrives. This sort of reminds me of Michael Jackson's, Thriller in a way. Overall a great piece, good luck in the contest...Jacob

Well to be compared to Michael Jackson's classic epic, "THRILLER" is quite a compliment, Jacob. Thanks so much, and have a super Easter Sunday. :}

Excellent photo that complements your poem perfectly. A fiddler's field with all bones buried. An utmost original subject to write about. I liked it and it needs no change. Best wishes for the contest.

The eeriness flows well from your pen my friend..A spooky tale of frighting ghosts done in a rhythm and rhyme that had the reader wanting more Kudo's who ever you are lol

Reminds me of that old World War 1 poem, and "Fiddler's Field" is a clever twist on that. The rhyming and flow is as smooth as ever. Love the alliteration in the first line. As nothing seems forced in this. Reads superbly when read aloud. Great job! Les

You've written an excellent minute poem.
Excellent syllable count and aabb rhyme to fit the prompt.
Gorgeous presentation with a great picture to poem match and green font on the endless black background
The alliteration really enhances this poem
Death fiddles a masterful tune and poem to match

Yes, I think I would keep as far away from fiddlers field as I could. Reminds of something from Stephen King.
I am not a one for dark places, especially of this kind. Good atmospheric write.
My best wishes.
Good luck in the competition.

Thanks, Roy. it's really just about generational curses and old buried family secrets. All families have them, it's just that some are better hidden than others, in places just like Fiddler's Field.

I very much appreciate you review.

reply by RGstar on 04-Apr-2015

You are absolutely write. Digging into those secrets is as scary as the thought of sleeping one night in fiddles field.
Best wishes,
RG

Hi Author,

You did such a good job on your presentation. That image is really spooky and I love the green, matching text. I think Fiddler's Field is a place to avoid! Very nicely done.

Hugs,
Lou

I try my very best to do so at all costs. Old family secrets are buried there you understand.

Thanks for the review.
