Arise, Arise

A sliced shirt ok. But no breast fillet.

"Arise, Arise" is a brief poem about initially thinking an injury had been avoided, and then discovering by the seeping of blood that serious harm had been done. I think the last line, "true horror alert," could be improved; the endless flood of uncertainty that accompanies one's sudden awareness of grave injury.

Excellent 5-7-5 horror poem for this writing prompt. You sure scared me with a slicing close to the heart. Love your humor along the way.

Blessings and good luck in the contest.

Hello Tom,
This is an excellent horror poem for the 5-7-5 contest.
The closeness of the wound to one's heart
is a horror that sends chills down the spine.
Nicely done.
Best wishes.
Robert

Horrifying indeed. With your carefully chosen words you create the tension, the pain, and the horror of a physical assault. It stops the reader. Very well written.

Tom you are a true horror! Sliced your shirt and blood did spurt, today it seems the norm to attack any man or woman for no reason except 'because I can' good luck with your bleeding breast and a new shirt. K xx

Your blood red background sets the horror scene well! Yes we all feel at ease thinking it's just a scratch, only the shirt..until it begins to pool!! Thank you for this delightful horror summed up neatly in a 5-7-5.
