THE DEAD!

A Haiku Collaboration Poem by Fran Marie and Sean Addams

The Dead     The Dead don't always
rest in peace~their spirits still
bound to earth's sad hell

unfortunate souls
sealed in the decay of death
doomed to pay sin's debt

existing creatures
damned to an eternal hell
the dead do not rest!


Burning forever
In a wicked flame gone mad
Shouts of suffering


Tortured hands clawing
penetrates through burning walls
Evil lives in pain


Peace never touches
Their charcoaled hearts of cold stone
No rest for the dead!

This is a very descriptive way to describe what it would be like to be one of those tortured souls in hell. I can feel the pain and agony in this write and yet cold stone hearts has me thinking the deserve to be there.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Wow. Nice job both Fran and Sean. I enjoyed this read, and the pictures especially the one on top is incredibly frightening. Almost feel like I've visited hell and came back in a poetic way. Nice work!
