Evil? I don't see it myself. Black humour perhaps. A less than stately ball for the recently, and not so recently departed... Although I feel the conversation at such an event would be dead...

I really did enjoy this poem. Apart from the line So this shrouded made his rapid way [which doesn't quite make sense, unless a word is missing] This is quite well written. I particularly am impressed with the way you have described the scene. I doubt prose could succeed any more successfully.

All in all an excellent piece.
Bravo!

this is... awesome. i love the gothic feeling. very very good friend
hope you write more of these, really enjoyed reading it.

Wow that first stanza is truly awesome as is the rest, Great work once again!

ahh i love it it soo mazing *thumbs up to you* u love this poem!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I adore your romatic poems...but this is...this is...simply sublime. What a night for the dancing dead! and

o ma gawd da the imagery! and the rhymin! fwuffy! go fwuffy go!

this is brill, reminded me of a lot of 18th century gothic stuff like Lewis and Shelley, especially from Frankenstein i think its something like :
The man who walks oft in fear and dread
Knowing close behind him a fearful thing doth tread...
I got a real sense of a haunted faintly burlesque poem like something satirised by the likes of Anne Ratcliffe. you are definately dwelling in a romantic gothic realm! apart from anything else your rhyming scheme is superlative and you have a real knack for creating suspense. this is engrossing.

I would have to agree completely with :devdarkscrescendo:, especially in the way I doubt that this piece could be surpassed in prose. You wrote this in a truly amazing fashion! Great work!
