The Devil

Poetically speaking
This is a loaded gun.

I'll have you know
I am a collector of art, beauty, and literature
Do not fuck me around, and
I will respect you.

Please don't take the title seriously
The devil represents rebellion and curiousity to me.
Not your take on the apocalypse,
but if you want revelations?
Do it well, or not at all.

      Don't worry, I asked and was told to read the entries and get an idea from that. So how the hell (excuse the pun) it can be fairly judged when the convenor cant explain, I will never know.

        I don't see what the confusion is all about. He asked in no uncertain terms for something that is well-written:

        "... if you want revelations?
        Do it well, or not at all."

        Where's the confusion? If it sucks, don't submit it.

    I'm noticing a color theme here....

    Thanks for the cup! Always gratifying to receive recognition from someone who knows what the hell he's talking about AND who will actually say it ... especially considering what got posted here.
    Nifty contest. Thanks again.
