Cape swinging down back alleys
You greet the girls with a ghoulish grin,
Teeth flashing in the gas lamp glow.

We stare at grainy pictures
And cringe at the carnage.
As you span the age in
Nameless immortality.

Was it spurned love
Or a badgering wife that drove you..
As you plowed through the ladies
Like a flashing blade.

I watched an episode on Jack the Ripper the other night, myself...

I wonder if we might ever uncover the true identity.

Good write!

So many out in the world present and past that have a sickness of the mind. Causing pain and sorrow to all that happen into the path of their illness and rage.
Sad poem.

Larry

You are good at painting character with just a few brush strokes and a question.  Enjoyed this!

(scared at edge of seat) Oh Larry, this movie has always scared me silly, sweet friend, it gets to me like a ratchet literally, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
