Hello :)
Beautiful horror sonnet with perfect rhyme and meter. The presentation is awesome, I love the pictures you chose. The words are well chosen to evoke horror. Good job!

You've got bigger balls than me, going up against a guy as popular as Dean on site, who is also the master of the horror genre, Ron.
Mind you, I only just spotted the rule stating all entries must be reviewed by an individual before they're allowed to vote - so that evens things up a bit.
What's this? God's angels ('Heaven's choir') turning into bad guys. Hmmm, I can think of a few on here who wouldn't vote for THAT theme, though I might. ;-)
Impeccable meter and rhymes, plus top enjambment and original theme make this a top read.
Top 9th line 'volta'.
Very dramatic and more than spooky atmosphere created by your words make Armageddon sound possible.
Mind you, when Mankind is wiped out, who else will there be for God to ignore. I bet he also gets a bit grumpy when no-one is left on Earth to worship his egotistical arse...ALLEGEDLY, though I don't believe you need that, God, so you're OK in my book. ;-)
Good luck and best wishes, Ray.

Hey, Ray, hi. Thank you for the excellent review, friend. Well crap, I guess I missed where we need to review every piece before we can vote. I'll have to read a little closer there.
Yeah, I don't stand a chance. "Oh, God's a loving God, He wouldn't do that to mankind." Yeah, try telling that to the whole world he drowned.
It wasn't the choir that killed everyone left. That was just the Armageddon angels sent out to off everyone. The choir will just spend eternity singing, lol.
Yeah, I'm sure whatever Dean writes is going to beat me out. No one likes my depth of horror. Horror that could be true. But what can you do? As always, I really appreciate the generous stars, Ray. I'm glad you liked my murdering angels write, lol. Have a good one.

Comment from rspoet
Beautifully written and presented sonnet
if beautiful is the right word for Armageddon
I doubt any will survive,
even those who think themselves pure
Armageddon is a metaphor for Flood
in this case of blood
but promised no more.
Excellent meter, rhyme, Volta, and final couplet
Great art work
Only fives left

Thank you for the great review, rspoet. To me, Armageddon means the end of mankind, the end of days. So yeah, I'm pretty sure no one's going to make it through, lol. I really appreciate the generous stars, friend. I'm glad you liked the piece.

Comment from Zue65
I don't think there is much horror in this. Yes there is carnage among men but only for those who acted like devils while living on earth. The carnage will not befall on those who lived a holy life helping their brethren while staying alive in an immoral world.

Yes, but for all those who are left behind, I'm fairly sure, it will be pure horror. Thank you for the great review, nassus.

Hi DragonSkulls, this is a really good entry for this particular competition, a perfect sonnet with an excellent turn on the ninth line, great story and rhyming to die for, the rhythm and flow are exquisite, I wish you the best of luck in the contest my friend.

You are very welcome my friend.
Comment from Pantygynt
I suppose we should be happy that they are still waiting for the command and have not yet started carrying out their awful tasks at this point in time. The sonnet itself
is perfectly formed in scansion and rhyme scheme, with a neat volta at line nine as should be the case. Ending with the couplet that seems to suggest the sonnet's connection with the book of Revelations that Armageddon is heaven sent. That would not appear to tally with a "loving god", but then it's only horror poetry after all - isn't it?

Thank you for the great review, Pantygynt. Yeah, that would be the same loving God that drown a whole earth of people too. So love seems a little twisted in its meaning here and there, lol. I really appreciate the gracious stars, P. Thank you again.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A horror scenario awaits us when the Armageddon angels come to slay us here on earth. Very well presented. Good luck with the contest
