Salem Girls

Salem Girls

They are so excited

And they like the feeling

Demons inside tells them to scream

Hang, hang, hang

They hear voices

Madness pursues them like a confession

They continue to scream

Die, die, die

As the door begins to open

The devil inside 

Tells them to burn

Their blood daughters

Squinkla - delightfully disturbing, the words hang free in this cold world

[Meredith Thompson]

Hmm...you express quite a lot in a very wide range from experimental one-liners to conventional rhyme patterns. This one seems to sear, strike and chant with a short build up that gets cut off before things get to loud. Very quick to the point but too, too quick.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Is something like when persons are ignited with hysteria they do unexpected things that at the moment they justify themselves within their group.

[Meredith Thompson]

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind when rereading for visualization.

[Red_Queen]

And you have won this argument madear

[Red_Queen]

I'd like to see something with more of a composed storyline inpoem form

[SquinklaPsyOps]

And I would like to see some witches on swings on the moon without astronaut suits.

Madness pursues them like a confession


IMO, wrong time to confess, but I enjoyed it all the same.

[John Stussy]

You've done such a huge amount with so little words, instilling the images of colonial Salem most effectively. This poem is awesome, and I rather like it.

[toritto]

Nicely done. Indeed.

:-)

[Miss Marlette]

Witches burnt...Very eerie and fascinating. Written with flair. It made for a very intersting read.

[Pryde Foltz]

This reads like a terrifying nursery rhyme. It is brief and language is sparse and it says all it needs to say. Well-penned. I liked.

[ChikHaley64]

Im impressed! The poem is so dark but exciting. I love it.

i visited Salem...the old witch house...interesting town..interesting history...

all of that fascinates me...i like the perspective and feeling of this piece...

looking from the other side of the coin...the witches' side.
