This was chilling. So few words managed to convey so much. In your usual delightful fashion, you managed to make the macabre frightfully delicious. Congratulations on your win.

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Horror writing prompt contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Nice presentation.

Scary devil theme.

Good luck in the contest.

Ouch! Are we talking devil or vampire here? Soulmates usually love each other and are not terrified of each other. But I think some of these horror poems show scariness, not love.

It's the Devil, who collects souls on a regular basis. Not love for sure. Thanks for reading my poem.

I don't know why, but I really liked this. It's dark and mysterious and I love the picture that you chose. It seems like a hook for a story that I would want to read.

Good

The story is in the painting. The scene is fiery and authenticates the lines in the poem. The picture and the words combine to bring the woman and the devil to the mind's eye. Well done.
