- "One could view the corporeal form to be just a husk, or maybe a hollow puppet if one was so inclined, it can bring out some heated debates. To me this does speak highly however of the finality of death and decay, a fantastic write."

- "A hunger that can't be reasoned with or rationalised, it's destructive and persistent, just the way I like. This poem had style, nicely done."

- "Your rhymes are always so stable and befitting of the darkness, Diabolical Incantations. I really like the first stanza because it best explores the predatory nature of an unfulfilled creature. Love it."

- "I was actually getting a little nauseous reading this, which is a very good sign considering the subject matter. Extremely disgusting- with an air of spirituality. "

- "Wonderfully expressive of the shame and anger from feelings of innate rottenness and malevolence. The second stanza is particularly reflective of the destroyer's entrapment from these feelings and the acts that he regrets."

- "Oooohhhh :) Finally, something REALLY up my alley. I think this is fabulous, clearly. It's even more intriguing to know that's it's based on stories from Ireland. I like the shorter stanzas in this one that move the poem even more rapidly for the reader, and my favorite line is "lost control of those in thrall" - because that's where the work climaxes."

- "The decaying process is quite interesting when you take the time to understand it, although most people find it a slightly morbid topic, an enjoyable read, nice write."

- "WOAH! I love, love, loved the finale. The entire poem built up to such an eclipse that when it finally came, it felt like an entire wall falling down. This is one of your best, I think. It definitely breaks from your usual pattern and style, but for some reason that makes it all the more fascinating. There are such a wide range of techniques that you employ in your writing . . . this is one of my favorites."

- "Love this one . . . "corporal" evokes such a sense of societal and administrative barriers in the pursuit of the normalcy that is touted as the goal. "Crippled corpse" is an especially vivid representation of this. I'm so glad that you decided to keep writing and adding to Dark Poetry; I really do adore all of your works."

- "Thank you :-) Ambrosio is the name of 'The Monk' in Lewis's novel, I find the name evokes an image of a very pious man and so sets him quite high ready for a huge plummet through morality. Think maybe this is what Lewis had in mind when naming him."

- "I went to their page & listened to The Plague of Destruction- I have to say, I'm usually an alternative rock fan (ie. Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, David Bowie)- but the metal genre was a perfect, strangely befitting vehicle for these lyrics. Thanks for posting- I really enjoyed reading it!"

- "I like your word choice in the fourth line with "in to" instead of "into." It encourages a feeling of literally falling into the poem.
Then I got to the second stanza and it was mind blowing. "Covetous?" "crave?" "pride?" "vanity?" All of the seven sins, are so well reflected here.
"How far you fall," and "abandon" are so telling of the sin inside of us, how no one is holy . . . not really.
Finally, the title AMBROSIO. I have to admit that the etymology of the word is lost on me. I do know of a kind of fruit salad and a Victoria's Secret model that both bear the name, but I don't believe either pertains to your work. I suppose the name "Ambrosio" is used fictitiously, but either way I really enjoyed this one. "

- "First of all, let me just say that the concept is completely inspired. The first stanza is entirely vivid and and your imagery throughout the poem is spot-on. The lines for "taking back command" break the rhythmic sequence, but once I read through again I could see that it actually serves to mix it up and provide a new layer to the work. I will be adding you to my favorite author list- I'm in love!"
