Her hate had spirit
formaldehyde couldn't slay,
death fueling flame
though the body failed
before her fingers served
bloody will.
Bound to grave
awaiting
son-in-law's visit
to murder
with fear.

Wonderfully dark, the poem and picture match, but will stand alone. The rhythm flows well and moves the work forward with clarity and power. Great ending. Good luck with the contest.

Goosebumps time. Why are sons-in-law and mothers-in-law always a source of this kind of thing? You have described it graphically.
It reminds of a Twilight Zone episode. I always enjoyed those.

Hi there ~
A touch of humor is always nice, but check you words......as *son-in-law* is considered one word :)

....I'm glad I don't have a Mother-in-law after reading this.......Grrr ~
Nice write Buddy, and if I am wrong about your word count, please forgive me,
God bless,
Bear ~
