Excellent portrayal of the theme of triumph of Good over Evil. How very different is the tenor of this poem from your earlier poem Through all My Five and Time spun Years where you wrote I have watched rich man take his fill The poor man falter in his wake.... .................................................. But in the darker hours when spent That's when I have cried, O how I've cried, ' Both the poems are reflective of your sensitivity and agony.

A great yarn with good triumphing with some fine lines. Was he wearing a suite and was he one of the 1% that control the 90% of wealth and power over commerce, food, war, governments and poverty, if so we can a certainly sleep well. Well done.

His face melted like Dali’s Stopwatch. Nicely said. A severe punishment indeed. Thank you.

Be great to pick up a paper and see the title: Val Doren has slain the Devil! Excellent poem though and like the Dali stopwatch line. But sadly as I tried to convey in my Daniel poem wickedness is everywhere.

Like it, to slay the devil, the way the world is at the minute you could have more to get rid of. A great poem.
