House of Flies

I am trapped in this place of death and despair

a mountain of bodies in the center of the room

the pungent odor of decay burns my lungs

I cannot breathe in this place

like a caged animal I whimper in the night

covering my ears from the constant sounds

that plagues me

minutes

hours

days go by

and now I am just another lost soul

in this house of flies

This is just great. Just great. Your dark poetry actually reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe, who sometimes loves to put supernatural elements in his poetry, and believe me that's something hard to master. You're a great writer, Kora.

This is really nice. Through dark vivid imagery that lingers you explain how the only dread is within the mind of the narrator. We truly can create the most frightening things inside ourselves, here there are no barriers.

[Pushkar Prabhat]

[Edgar Perez]

The agony in this piece is so vivid it produces depth.
Great way to deliver the imagery. Nice (:

[Lucifer Jones]

Dark, bleak and disturbing... and very well crafted. The feeling of being stranded in the room an observer is quite gripping. NICE! Loved it my friend.

[Mockingbird]

grotesque imagery. conveys fear and despair. sounds like someone who is a victim of some medieval eastern european punishment. excellent job.

[Nicole Williams]

Thank you so much for your review!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

very very dark scene you so eloquently set here...

it is scary to wonder where the soul will eventually end up...

and how long it will have to walk among us in the in-between place.

[Rob Santana]
