Aghast
A (slightly modified) Octogram poem102 total reviews
Comment from John Parkin
I loved your Oct gram poem and the pulsating picture depicting the swamp gas and greenish glow. The rhyming scheme was great and the two verses were separate but continued on to a final ending of winning over another unsuspecting soul. Great work.

Comment from Henry Carlyle
Great job! Excellent rhyming, intricate but didn't seem forced; likewise with the metre, I thought you wove it together in a creative way which preserved the flow, but was still coherent (I presume this would be difficult with so many short lines).
Great staccato feel, and I enjoyed the story you told. Don't have anything specific to comment on, I think you set out to do exactly this, and it worked beautifully.

Boy she turned out to be a pig. a scry one at that. I am aghast. LOL..Good writ as usual, my friend. The setting is the whole thing. Roaming around in the swamp at night, someone deserves her.

Dear Dean,
You stare aghast since you'll not last. She makes you squirm and leaves you cold. This greenish creature is something to behold.
Warm regards,
Winslow

Dean: I asked my computer (she's a ten), what a bile bog is and she got scared
and disappeared. The green gue and slime allures your friend for end times.
No school for him, just her. Great spooky tunes and photos. You nailed the beat
and the B repeat!!! Ok, I'm flying! flylikeaneagle

Interesting! Very nice rhymes and rhythm. I'm really starting to like the octogram poetry form. Very good description. I like the way you illustrated it too. And, I liked how you read it. Awesome, Dean.
Thank you for sharing.

Quite a setting. The bog threatens us with images of snakes and creepy crawlies . Add in a spectre and you turn it into the thing nightmares are made of. Great imagery and unique style. Great job. Gretchen

Oh so ghoulish and quite
well done. Your poetic
language is some of the
best, it pulls your reader
through to the end without
releasing its hold. Kudos,
no nits or spags. Lora
