If you
want to un-
lock the
iron door
of my
broken
heart’s
sanc-
tuary,
then
you’ll
have
to see
past
the
painting,
past the
spark
of fears
that live
within
my own head. That is where the
key to my heart exists. It is a
windy,
curvy,
road that leads through the nine
rings of hell, downward into Satan’s
bowels,
into a
putrid
cloud
of
g
a
s
.
How worth it am I?

Doh! Now I reply: good write, putrid cloud of gas. heehee. Oh, I don't fancy a key that opens such a door.
But to be gloomy - 'Oh cheer up,' I said to someone: 'When one door opens, another one slams in your face!' I'm a barrel of laughs. lol.

Fabulous shape poetry. So very clever and well done to all those prompts Tristan. As I have my own fears I don’t think I’m gonna be tempted to share yours as well😂. That is some journey to contemplate.
Thank you so much, Cassie! The idea of a skeleton key came to me when thinking of prompt lock. Not sure why that form of key…but went with it. 😂 Couldn’t help myself with the Dante reference!! 😂 Thank you so much, Cassie! Much appreciated! 🖤🙏
