We celebrate the birth of Jesus by over indulgence….where did it all go wrong.
This is a terrific write Paula ⭐

Thanks.

Thanks.

Classic…..made me giggle.

I thought you loved me….brilliant

Okay first stanza is the shocker.
Then you twisted it in the last stanza.
Mouth open all through this read. Then I laughed.

I enjoyed this surprising tale. That darn Agnes!

She’s appeared in two previous pieces. She’s the church bookkeeper who is stealing to fund her casino addiction.

Saint Nick might have a fondness for other pastors wives….he’s human after all.

I read this backward. I read the second piece before this. Now it makes sense. lol No Sparks,,yeah right

Powerful stuff Fia

Fantastic work. Powerful writing.

Heartfelt in a new way

“The liver
The spleen
Rip out the intestines
Making me his queen”

Amazing writing Fia.

Nice and dark Fia. I love the candy corn colored sky emerges line.
Death takes its bride one organ at a time. Sounds like horror to me and a good one for the halloween season. 🙂

Hauntingly penned, Fia. Look at you writing horror, excellent write my friend. Appreciate you, cuz.

Violent imagery & language apropos for an October horror film marathon. I’ve got some catching up to do, fer sure. Thanks for holding it down here at Stars Rite. Much appreciated!

Honest, morbid and great wording. A gorgeous piece, dear Fia!

It builds with a violent intensity.
Very apt for Halloween. But also death is always with us. All year round. You poem is very truthful.
Regards James

Your reflections on this conversation with death are the stuff of great poetry. Your poem is deeply felt and strong in imagery that is as poetic as it is strong. Truly a great poem.
