Comment from mermaids
Excellent rhyming and flow of words. You paint vivid pictures that are scary and give one much to think about.
I like the line "Night Eve to plant a tree."

This is a nice story even though i seem to be starting from the middle. The language is very ripe and lucid; VERY accessible. Nice rhymes too. kudos

Comment from sgalletti
Hi Mike. I'm enjoying this story and expect to see a book someday! Good rhythm throughout, great choice to repeat the same word in consecutive lines even thought that often doesn't work. Love the word "regenesis." I have never heard of the word "nowt" and could not find it in the dictionary. Is it a real word? Spelled correctly? Nie job. Look forward to the next installment. Sue

Thanks, Sue :-). Nowt is just UK English for Naught, and has confuzzled many a reviewer! I'd love to turn this into an illustrated book; like a poetry graphic novel or something. That would be cool!

"Medusa; Gorgon, my demise,
now petrified by fear.
Her snakes my desperation,
my crime a single tear."

FLEEDLEFLUMP-Hello today-this was some really good reading here...you have taken so many elements and I'm a lover of Greek Mythology and Medusa has always been such a bad-snake in my head character that I could have stop reading right there! The writing is dark and mysterious and you lead us up and down various caverns on this journey of possibilities-very well structured and written superbly...thanks for sharing

Comment from Dall
Good poem, very enjoyable. Well written but, I tell you, I would love to just sit and read it in a story. Seems there would be much more info.. However as i said this was very good... Well done!

Thank you, Dall! I admit, my first instinct was to write it as a story, but I have so many of them on the go at the moment, I thought it'd be interesting to do it in poetry form. Really glad you enjoyed the read!
