Very good Dean and so realistic. Hahah be careful what you wish for. Something along this nature could bring about reaction you don't expect.

Perhaps it already has...? (Just being overly dramatic, LOL!)
Thanks for the wonderful review, Pam.

Comment from Winslow
Dear Dean,
The scariest specter of them all is our own mind and what it can do. Just look at Van Gogh.
Warm regards,
Winslow

Yeah, old Vincent is a prime example of brilliance gone mad.
Thanks for your kind comments and glowing review, Winslow. Much appreciated.

Pleasant screams ...to you too...I would have some if I dwelled too hard on the shadows...it is always fear of unknown that is the creepiest. Well written as always.
So malfeasant schemes ...my friend
God bless

Heh, thanks, kiwijenny. I'd say it's pretty hard for anyone in a mental institution to see a whole lot of good. Of course, I wouldn't know first hand, I'm only speculating. Thanks for the feed back.
Comment from darla1977
This is sooo creepy, and cool! One of my favorites so far! I tried to give you my last six, but you know, stupid rules. I'm only allowed to give you 2! I love everything about this! The song choice, and pictures could've been produced specifically for this, or so it seems! I get excited every time you post something new! Genius!

Thanks, Darla. That's a wonderful compliment, and I am honored you feel that way. I've been called a lot of things lately (some I can't repeat in mixed company...OUCH!, but "brilliant" isn't one of them. I'm also delighted to know that you feel genuine anticipation when you see my posts. It is for people like yourself that I will always keep writing while trying to improve so that I may entertain you to the best of my ability.
Thanks a million, Darla. I sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks so much again!

This is yet another interesting and disturbing piece of writing from the author in this post. Again I was transported away to another world and it is one filled with torture and pain. Well done.

Hi Dean
You have quite the frightening poem of what can happen when one's imagination takes over one fids themselves in white in the looney bin.

Comment from STEPHEN A CARTER
LOVE THESE BITS:
What's that lurking 'neath my door, 'that' could be anything
--now clawing to get in? Love 'clawing'
--from fearing where they've been. foreshadowing?
--quiet the deafening din. quite OR quiet 'd' allits
all the while the shadows/smirking, s' allits love the pause4
Slowly, Of course the door opens slowly = heightens horror
nowhere to run-- no place to hide; Used this line in Hamburger Hill
--I fear/leering internal rhyme
--to memories of my sin.
--inside the looney bin... My father in law worked in an insane asylum for 30 years. Tough job in a full moon. Out came the mattresses.
We all have to,decide how much sin we can live with. The sounds recorded, match the mood perfectly. In fact where did you get the audio and the pics? Well done.
Regards:

Wow! Thanks for such an in depth review of this, Stephen. I really appreciate that!
The audio I get from YouTube. They are consignment sound FX that are free to use for blogs, websites, etc. The animated gifs and photos come from photobucket, in my portfolio account there.
Again, thanks for a great review, my friend. Much obliged.

As always, one of your specialty poems that makes us think, creating chaos in our minds, and paranoia of all those eyes, the crazies on the streets. Thanks for another great read.

I couldn't resist reading this one, Dean. Perfect as always, my friend, and a little jolly tune to go with the reading, heh-heh.

I am giving you a virtual 6...no a virtual 10 because I can and I want to although I do wish you hadn't used my picture for this one - I just don't look my best.
I think to myself 'Self you know exactly what this write is going to be like so why go in and be confuddled and confused'
So then I find myself answering myself "Self if you don't go in you will wonder what the gruesome, macabre write was about anyway - so go for it'
So here I am self talking to self - maybe it is I who should be in the looney-bin...is there no end to this foolishness.
Thank you for another night I will go to bed with the light on - Dinah
