Demise.

As I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death
I shall fear no evil.
However, as I
venture
through the
maze of
Purgatory
I will
not
make
one
wrong
step
for if
I do
I know
that I
will meet
my
ultimate
demise.

It was swimming around in my head for a while. What do you think?

Wow! I loved how narrow you made the poem! It makes the reader feel like you're "walking a fine line" as you go through purgatory. This was such a smart way to format a poem for sharp and clear effectiveness. Creative write! Keep up the good work.

Very good write. Simple yet it hits you in the mouth. No wrong steps taken here. I think you're safe. I will be reading more as I enjoyed this quite a bit.

I liked this this. I think this is poetic simplicity. It's also in the shape of a tornado so it could be seen as a shape poetry. I think a tornado is a fitting shade for this poetry when one wrong step could put you in a whirlwind of demise.
