Poem -
Karma's Web
I don't believe
it started
this
way
But gradually
choices
made
in
life
has
left
me
smothered
in silk
suspended
in
a
gossamer
The arachnid
called Karma
taunts
me
anticipating
its time
to devour
me
slowly
as its'
paralytic
venom
entraps
me
from
having
a swift
painless
demise
Ironically
The torture
is not
with
the end
but being
the enslaved
spectator
to the
sorrow
that I
unwittingly
caused
on those
I have loved..................................................................

Oh WOW GREG!!....I see why you pointed me here...... it's definitely one of the best (that I've read) from you so far!!...... there are a lot of VERY insightful phrases here but it is in the whole of it where I found myself finding the over all picture of a man learning to live with ramifications of the choices and decisions he's made up to this point in his life...... and he thought might be different those choices are not letting him take the easy way out...... he has to stay and be witness to all the pain he has caused in those closest to him......" The Arachnid called Karma" has come calling!!...... Fantastic job on this one man!!.........PINNED!!......we're all in agreement on this .......Beautifully crafted!!........ LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo ???✴??✴??✴❤?
Tony thank you for the review.I felt this was a good piece and I appreciate that you took the time to read it. Love you bro
Hello, Greg. Happy Memorial Day to you & yours.
A very famous quote by Walter Scott, that I'm sure you already know, goes a little somethin' like this:
"O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!"
You've incorporated some vivid imagery here through eloquent use of vocabulary in this stunning contemporary free verse.
I would so ♥LOVE♥ to see what you could do with rhymed poetry—say a sonnet, for example?
Nicely penned...

Dean thank you so much for the review. I will write a sonnet or something to quench my friend of horror's thirst. Give me a little time lol/ thank you

You're more than welcome, Greg.
And, just to show you that I'm a good sport, if you write a spooky sonnet I will do my best to step out of my comfort zone and write a contemporary styled free verse of a romantic vein.
I do love a challenge...
~Dean :)
