The devil has his hands in every facet of life. I prefer to be rejected by him daily as his temptations are real. Thank you for sharing your talent.
God bless.

I like this poem that narrates a story. I find it funny that the devil kicked him out. I also would like to write a distorted Diablo so this was a good example for me. Thanks for sharing!

This poem, Rejected, follows the untainted soul who has walked a wider highway than is necessary. Although not on a pearly gate route, the devil seems to be unimpressed with the low level of lowlife.

    Yes, Bill, some are lower than the belly of snakes and just keep on crawling.

Well done with this Jim, you've done a marvellous job, its hard to work out why the devil is so stupid that he fell, cast out of heaven along with a third of the angels, silly old he, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Interesting how you used this form, the Distorted Diablo to cover the evil one's fall from heaven to become the tormenter for the human race ever since. An apt subject for the form!

Developing a thick skin is something we learn to do with experience in order to protect ourselves from outside forces. Best not to become too aggressive and overzealous like this guy in your story. This is an unusual post Jim and I have not heard of this form before, you were brave to try it, love Dolly x

Nicely done in your rhyming free verse adhering to the form of the distorted diablo. I like the way you've kept to the theme and yet injected some fun and humour with this lost soul dropping in to meet the Devil. But it seems he's not up to the mark and, despite the Devil's initial excitement, this lad is sent back as he's far too "hum-drum." Some lovely imagery, particularly relating to the Devil and his flaring nostrils and rising smoke. An excellent entry for the club. Well done! Debbie

The distorted Diablo style of poetry was very interesting to me. Your lines and syllable count are all spot on, I like your rhyme scheme. The chosen artwork fits the poem well. I enjoyed it very much. Well done!
