Fatal Trip To The Fifth Circle of Hell

Back in August, some nice things were happening to me every day. They made me feel
myself growing with the tide. At the same time, some bad stuff arose, interrupting the flow, testing my patience, and making me restless. When I wrote this post (repurposed
it, really), I was going through some hurdles.

Funny, but that time was hard, and I cannot help thinking that this post worked its
magic to dissuade the ill-intentioned few who had forgotten they belong to the whole.
Some of you noticed and kindly bore the burden with me. Thanks so very much.

You, my audience, are always welcome here at selmamartin.

Spammers, if you’re still doing to someone else what you were doing to me, it’s not
looking good for you, so please abandon that now!! (double exclamation marks).
Hell’s where you’re fated to end for your leaching ways. The ferryman will do us the
honor.

Realistically, I don’t think spammers are here to ‘read’ anything I have to say; they’re
too busy with putrid pursuits. Still, just in case one turns up here, I want to cinquain
them with a little wrath-filled warning. And gift you a laugh at their expense.

FATAL TRIP

Dumps them,
the ferryman
into the hell circle
of the smeared putrid River Styx
souls drown

that offers to publish responses to any other pub’s writing prompt.
I’ve had a few amusing pieces published there, and this poem and its purpose
is one of them.

        You smiled Mich!? I love it. Thanks for letting me know. Those spammers should be ashamed of their nettlesome ways. I hope you’re safe. Thanks for reading, smiling, and responding. Xo

      I’m sure glad you chuckled at their expense. Mission accomplished, then. Thanks for letting me know, Sonia. That’s one set of people I pity. They sure are relentless nettlesome parasites.
      I don’t know what I did to attract them and hope you’re spared. Blessings. Xoxo
