Hello Fiends,
Here is another excerpt from a little book of death poems I am writing called ‘101 Ways To Die, Accidents, Murders, And Other Techniques To Lose A Life’. This little morsel involves our favorite Victorian serial killer with a penchant for organ removal. Enjoy!
In the hours past midnight
Taking a shortcut home
Down a damp, dark alley
Chilled to the bone
A hard day on the job
Not the profession you think
A harlot, a whore
A woman of the streets
As the fog rolls in
Not a human in sight
The sound of footsteps
Fills your body with fright
A quick glance behind
But no one is there
Just your mind playing tricks
Then a shadow appears
You scream for help
Hope to be saved
Too fast, he’s upon you
With the glint of his blade
Away from prying eyes
Murder most foul
A slit across the throat
Then surgically disemboweled
Thanks for reading,
~Curtis Rx

*love* it. Anything Jack the Ripper related is always my favorite things ever.
Oh my, that poem was so ghastly, and horrendous. I liked it a lot! Keep up the ghoulish tales
How terrible! I love it!
Absolutely amazing good sir!
And perfectly creepy that you would right a poem about ol’ saucy Jack whilst I am writing a story that starts off with him. I think I channeled too much of you a while back.

So sinister and dark. Love it! (:
You, sir, are a brilliantly sadistic man. And I, for one, LOVE IT! Every one of these is absolutley gutwrenching (pun intended). It’s very Poe-esque. Of course, I’m sure you meant it that way, being all inspired by him and such. Anyhoo, well done! 10 out of 5 chainsaws!
that was good! I’d may have hit upon the suspected origins of jack, like his aristocracy. but i liked that you hinted towards the surgical precision with which the poor lasses were relieved of their organs for the daily grind, pun intended!
A great death!!!!! The images coming in my head,
a London time…
one blade with a smile
teeth in the shine!
luv you dear one
xoxoxo
oh, nice.
love it man.
I love you and everything you do (;
That’s what prostitutes get for being…prostitutes.
I’m with you on that one Bekky!
Loved it Curtis!
Perfect. Just perfect.
haha, oh BRILLIANT.
Funny, that I was just thinking of the Batman Brave and the Bold episode where they have their own answer for Jack the Ripper….which happens to Gentleman Ghost…hmm. Was that a little off topic? Pardon me.
This is wonderful. Well written and gory, I love it.
Good times Good times.
I always said they’d never catch me!
Awesome, all of them are! When will this book come out?
This is amazingly written.
I love it ^^
…Wait, book?!
I’ll be preordering that! Great job, Curtis!
I’m currently writing a paper on Jack’s identity. :]
This was some awesome poem! I had to read it out loud and got goosebumbs ~<3
Oh,that REALLY reminds me of Kuroshitsuji♥
FFFF— A book?
I might have read wrong, but if not, is it out yet!?
I want it already
Very preatty, you and Edgar Allan Poe are on my list of poets I’ll read
i love it this should be a song you would just need to repeat the fourth stanza a few times
Reminds me of Dr. Sawbones… such a loverly song!
