Let me be the first to toss a handful of fresh turned earth into the grave I have dug to bury this monster No... I did not stake its heart, and know it can rise from death to stalk my nights. Yes... hell may burn, but at least the cold won’t last forever. |

Well this one certainly doesn't stop at the last line, but lingers like the monsters that do lurk in many an imagination... well done Sir! |

How would you have it expanded? What do you think is missing? I am curious to know, for I may have missed the mark entirely with this one... I appreciate the comment... and welcome suggestions! |

this is gripping, partly in the talent with which it's been written and partly because it raises many questions in one's mind...what is the monster, or can it be 'any' monster that one may try to bury from their memory, knowing full well it can continually rise up and permeate someone's semblance of peace. It's like I want to know what monster you are dealing with here, yet I perfectly accept your right to keep that specificity private. |

CPatHair~ I thought you asphyxiated it quite well ! Anger is best put to a quick death ... it only rises to burn us again, if we don't snuff out the ashes. I'm for dousing it with a big dose of water too ! Fascinating piece, poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The last stanza leaves me pondering with its sense of sarcastic irony -- almost like succumbing to "whatever will be will be"... I think that venting that "monster" in a constructive/harmless way (poetry, music, shouting like Scooby Doo on the top of a desolate hill, or doing some gardening/house-cleaning) is perhaps the best way to exorcise it for good, for anger tends to only acquire strength through hibernation. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |
