Bill, no matter how many times I read this fascinating/engrossing piece, I only come up with some egomaniac and/or egocentric persona that has
done all he can to destroy all within his reach, and when that failed, he got bored and stopped...The picture w/split community, your hyperbole of mass destructions was relevant in theme...I am sorry if I have misstated
your intentions. Great puzzle!

No need to worry. The first stanza is Bill sitting to write with few expectations. The second third and fourth stanzas are the direction his mind went next. The final stanza finds him back to the mundane.

I was no where near what you are saying, but I did enjoy what I read:-)
Comment from Nicki.B
Wow what an explosion of imagination there. I liked how the you've written a poem about someone writing themselves, there was great imagery within. I wasn't sure where it was going forst I thought it might be some mad man on the loose or something! But then it transpired. Well done, an enjoyable read

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
We see injustices in the world and we want to change things but somehow those people seem to naturally get their just desserts in time. We all pay for our bad deeds eventually. As poets we are the reporters of such incidents as we don't miss anything and our pen or pencil works the magic. A poignant post, love Dolly x x x

Comment from QC Poet
Hello Mr. Schott, it reads like a poets struggle to write revenge, catastrophe, or child works a issue all writers will face sometimes. This is a good read about the elements a writer will face at some point in their writing endeavors
Thanks always for Sharing your skill set

As writers, the entire world of words and imagination are open to us. You could give three writers the same cue (as they do in some creative writing classes) and each work will differ greatly.

Comment from Liliana Tricks
Your poem truly navigates the intricacies of justice and consequences, merging seriousness with whimsical imagery. It's a piece that provokes thought by juxtaposing the gravity of past actions with the surreal elements that emerge later in the poem.

Comment from nomi338
What a deadly combination. A talented maniac, armed with pen, paper and the talent to create a nightmare scenario. Destructive mayhem must ensue. What is a lad to do?
"Destroy with glee, everything that offends me!"
Put the paper down Bill, put the paper down.

Comment from karenina
Sounds to me like Bill's muse was either on serious overload or possessed by "A I" -- although if I get a vote, I'd go with the talking bear playing a tamborine!
