PROMPT: BEWARE OF GREEKS BEARING GIFTS!!!

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT SATAN WOULD LOOK LIKE IF HE SHOWED UP
IN YOUR LIFE? WHAT WOULD HE LOOK LIKE? HOW WOULD HE DRESS? HOW WOULD HE SPEAK TO YOU? WHAT WOULD HE SAY? HOW WOULD HE GRAB YOUR ATTENTION?

WOULD HE WOO YOU? WOULD HE TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR?
WOULD HE FIND YOUR MOST VULNERABLE AREA AND UTILIZE THEM TO SOFTEN YOU, TO MOLD YOU, TO FORM YOU IN TO THE VEHICLE HE WANTED, NEEDED FOR HIS PURPOSE/S?

WOULD HE/SHE BE BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME? DRESS WELL OR SIMPLY? WOULD
HE BE A POET? AN ARTIST? A MEDIA PERSON? A STAR IN FILMS, RADIO, TV, VOCALIST, AUTHOR? WOULD HE BE BRILLIANT? A GENIUS? A SIMPLE SOUL? GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, RELIGIOUS, POPE, CHARITABLE? LOYAL TO A CAUSE; ESPECIALLY OFFERING TO HELP YOU?

HOW WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO DISCERN THE AUTHENTIC FROM THE INGENUINE?

  • Final notes:
    Congratulations Poets! You have once again answered my call for Brilliance, Cleverness, Intelligence, Beauty, Poetic Justice and so much more!

    Each person who entered took their time and energy and talent to pen for this contest. Each expressed in their unique way and fulfilled the contest requirements; I am most appreciative and grateful to each one of you.

    The winners reflect the personal preference of this Hostess and in no way diminish the calibre or quality or talent of any other Poet or Poem entered here.

    GOLD: "Lucifer's Sojourn..." by Fritz O
    skennick ~~ Poet, Playwrite, Musician
    Wordsmith: "Lucifer's Sojourn" is a masterpiece of story-weaving betelling the Universal ache of every Soul who is seeking the soothing balm of solace for their scorched heart and split and spliced mind. This entry is a journey of vast proportion, profound depth, and brilliant wordsmithing of the word bank.
    "Lucifer's Sojourn..." fulfills the demon's
    snare and earns the Gold in "Beware of
    Greeks Bearing Gifts!" Bravo Poet!

    SILVER: "...Mortal Flesh Atop Demonized Bone..." is a GOLD worthy entry by Beloved Poetess, Sculptress and Craftswoman, Desire:
    Poetess Desire weaves the threads of
    Deceit, profoundly defines all the elements requested. Madam uses masterclass assonance and consonants throughout; explores the elements of
    "Hideous Beauty" explicityly painting
    with fearless ink...Words reach into the marrow, prick the flesh, crawl into the mind to find hiding in the shallows the inner Beast within all of us.
    Definitive depiction of the cunning, conniving culprit/s of Darkness.
    Just a few of the sections that jump out are:
    "Hypocrisy overlooked by his Brilliance perceived..."

    "...mirror his own Miseries back onto Demonized bone."

    "...I held tight my trusted Lotus, watched it bloom and wore its petals~..."

    Lines that spoke loudest:

    "...making him Invincible; signing the deed to their souls over for a chance to sit on his lap...."

    "...Mortal Flesh Atop Demonized Bone..."
    is a Brilliant Entry worthy of GOLD! Brava Poet!!!

    BRONZE: "Satan Made Simple" by
    KEITH E.GERBER ~~ This piece fulfills all the requirements and paints a lucid picture of Lucifer weaving with wordsmithing brilliance the word bank.
    "Satan Made Simple" s c r e a m s of the Universal warning and arms us to the snare: "Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts."
    Another GOLD worthy entry. Bravo Poet!

    This contest was and is very close to my Heart and my Soul; I am inviting each and every one who passes this way to read
    these entries and in particular "...Mortal Flesh Atop Demonized Bone..." as it addresses the inner-Child who seeks
    self-esteem, love, nurturing from a Father
    a Daddy and because of unhealed issues
    is taken hold by the demon who uses
    that need...perceived weakness to capitalize and devise the Child's demise with all the Force and more expressed
    within this Poem. I am inviting all to look upon this and to read it with the eyes of Your Soul. You too may be the next prey...

    Congratulations to the winners!

    I am thanking each and every one of you for taking your time and energy, talent and Voice to pen for this contest.

    With love, light, awareness, freedom
    gratitude, and authentic appreciation

    I AM
    for ever
    liquidmindforever
