    • Here is Guillotine bi-trillets

      The ring of steel bells. beckons us to hell
      The audience ignores the sound
      Multiple bodies hit the ground

      The chiming goes on, sings a restless song
      Unrelenting sorrowful tears
      The heart shutters to stop in fear

      Hope is so far gone, whispered please at dawn
      Guillotine swinging in the sun

      • Writes like this are quite difficult for the most of us. So few even try. Yet you did and you did it very well. The rhymes are solid and well thought out. Most of the cadence is kept moving fluidly. Along with an interesting storyline to boot.

      • incredibly penned…compelling. your imagery captivating,
        you weave words with amazing fluidity. i too very much enjoyed your topic & style.

      endless night confession

      breathe in the black smoke, love feels like a joke
      the nights we wasted tasted strange
      cheap liquor kiss, dirty exchange

      you were my worst itch, struck like a kill switch
