Let us take on the Domain of HELL....all metaphors welcome!

Contest Prompt:

Let’s take on the Domaine of HELL….

Welcome to Hell

 

Is hell what WE create?

soothing fires we bathe ourselves

in bubble baths of relief and excuse-less ways?


 

WE’ve heard hell blamed for every evil deed

Which too carefully ----dissects---- away

our accountability and responsibility.

 

Is the devil…too easy a blame?

I have heard many spiritual….seem to believe

That he stalks souls as if their spirits would really

Make one bit of difference in the realms of hell.

 

Let’s take on the domaine of HELL…..




All metaphors welcome.

 



 

ARE Their keys and invites into hell?

descensions INTO….Ascensions OUT OF….

triggers and bullets?

 

Who invites whom into hell

I’ve yet to see an invitation in the mail from hell?

 

Is their an Escape door out of hell.

 

Why is hell so fun…and heaven seem so boring.

 

What defines HELL….

Ever been there….????????? 

Got a story to tell…………

 

Do you truly feel sorry for those who burn and melt in realms of hell

Typically the devil is a man….interesting…what if the devil was a woman?



Would that be a surprise to us all?

 

 

Rumored through music and lyrics

the presence of a highway and fires gates to hell...ever stomped on the devil....and LIVED TO TELL?????

 

Take the prompt and write where it leads you….

Let’s Take on Hell…....Singe and burn the obvious,

And let loose our muse on the topic: 

the Domaine of HELL.

 

All genre's welcome

touch it with humor or politics

take whever you want too....

Spiritual writers go deeper-do not spout off general

give it life and metaphor.

Dark writers pierce it through and through.

Haiku we expect the same from you.

 

a note for:

Dragon, Vampyre, Lycan and werewolf writers,

what do you hear and see....who is stalking whom?

Do humans have the right to feel so blame free?

 

 

 

 

Pre-writes are open for two days only.
