Up or Down?

Hell is more crowded than you might think

Upon my window ledge

I sit

and see an angel fly.

She gently flaps her wings

while floating down the sky.

A demon

moments later

rises from beneath the ground.

Maliciously he creeps

without a single sound.

Angel tells me

"come to heaven--

weather is

divine!"

Demon says

if friends I want

a visit down

is more than fine.

Many invitations. Few offered worthwhile.
"Angel told me
come to heaven-

divine.
Demon said
if men I want
a visit down
is more than fine."
I would pick purgatory myself. Thank you for sharing the interesting poetry. You left the reader with something to think about.

I'm happy you liked it Coyote. I'm not sure what I would pick, but hell is definitely more tempting to choose. There is something very lonely in roaming in the heavenly clouds. The weather might be great, but not many people to talk to.

I enjoyed your poetry and you are welcome.
