Hell's Bell's

This was actually written my senior year when we had to write a reaction to one of the canto's in Dante's Inferno

Hell’s Bell’s

Forward!
On March the Banners of the King of Hell
These Doors bid you Welcome

Draped in flaming banners with a frigid touch
Battering the wind we rally
Beckoning fear before the great beast

Encased he stands
A beast with weeping tears of destruction
Wings of envy severing the flames

Soldiers lined like pins
Decaying bodies fighting against the grain
Souls damned to the darkest of grim

On March the Banners of the King of Hell
Abandon your light, my friend
Here boy…God has forgotten your plight

[An owl on the moon]

Powerfully vivid and timeless in feel... Huck Finn used this phrase (the title) quite a bit, so it caught my eye. Excellent write!

[Jason]

Wow...this is great. I love the darkness....within the reign of hell. It was very well written. Especially the way it begins with....
"On March the Banners of the King of Hell
These Doors bid you Welcome
Draped in flaming banners with a frigid touch
Battering the wind we rally
Beckoning fear before the great beast"

A subject that will always raise eyebrows, written with such talent.

[Clockwork]

Not sure if I have thing right but it seems to me like this is almost about the crusade. It is almost like the warriors are fighting against a monster that is not evil to have their "Sins forgiven." I enjoyed your word choice, and your metaphors greatly.

[Silvario]

Another exciting piece! Strong and very bold. I really enjoyed.
Once aagin, well written with obvious talent.

You have a fan. :)

[Jillian]

Wow, scary. Great write, the darkness of this piece reached into its readers and grabs them by the balls reminding them of their own insecurities in the world/eternity. Like I said, a very scary piece.

[Bran the Broken]

Short but Chilling.

[Phenomena]
