Deacon's Demise...

Loud smacks and then a scream

Interrupted Killer's dream

He had thought to take a nap

Eyes closed, head bent, 'neath his cap

A man had a woman by the hair

His gaze upon Killer sitting there

Said, "What the fuck you looking at ?"

" If yer looking at me, take off yer hat."

Killer's mind working kinda slow

Took a minute, to say, "Oh, I know!"

He thinks he's tough, and challenged me

Has he got the stuff? Guess we'll see

Killer stood up, and the man smiled

"Guess you ain't never seen me riled"

Killer said," Can't see a need to talk"

"I just wanta know, can you walk the walk?"

Coming together, hands raised to fight

Surprised at each other's seeming might

Both men thought it would be a breeze

To bring the other man down, to his knees

Straining, they twisted that way and this

'Till Killer smiled and blew him a kiss

Freaked out, he faltered, stupified

Killer didn't flinch... the other man died

Swinging the branch with his best

Killer pushed it deep... into the man's chest

As the man's knee's began to fold

The blood spurting out... to the touch, was cold

" I am Killer" he said...And now you know it too

"Before you die, tell me who are you?"

As the light in his eyes, slowly weakened

The dark eyed man sighed.... I was Deacon

This is a real Grabber!

Takes you by the throat and doesn't let go until the very end! Superbly crafted with lots of gut-wrenching honesty and grit!

Grit is something...

Both Killer and DeMona have plenty of. We are smoothing the path for their joining up together. Thanks for the read and swell comments. I love it that Killer has so many fans. ~ Geezer

So we have been told...

There are Killer fans who have wanted to see him and DeMona get together, so we wrote a couple of poems to do that. However, we would like to set the scene in a way that brings them together. We didn't really plan it at first, so we kinda jumped the gun, and brought them together haphazardly. Now we are trying to make it a smoother path. Thanks for commenting, and yes, we are trying to make it a book of poems. ~ Geezer

He's DEAD.....

Killer came through once again and put that cheating, merciless Deacon to rest once and for all!!!! DeMona couldn't be happier and is in the process of writing down how she and Killer came to meet. I am so glad to see this evolving the way it is....never thought my darker side would eventually develop her own personality and life....so glad to be sharing it with Killer...talk soon....

Deacon died from...

being too arrogant. It was Killer's good luck that he happened to be DeMona's boyfriend. Now they can get on with it! There is nothing in the way now. They are going to have some great adventures together. Both in and out of the kitchen. LOL ~ Gee

arrogance....

One of Deacon's finest qualities!!!! I can not wait to see where this is going to take Killer and DeMona...I like the idea of publishing Killer with DeMona on the side. He really is the star of the poems. Do you want to write the next installment of their adventures together or do you want me to???? Love Ya: Carrie

Killer has found new life!

He would have taken Deacon home to eat,but when he found out that he was dead-meat, it put him off. He had never met anyone like Deacon before and it kinda made him a little sick to his stomach, to think of eating something that he didn't kill, but it was dead already. LOL Killer and DeMona are all set to head out on new adventures now, without worrying about Deacon lurking in the background. I thought that the fast pace was appropriate in keeping with a fight between the two. I am so glad you liked it! ~ Gee

Oh I love Killer. I mean I

Oh I love Killer. I mean I could go on and on... but it just comes back to he is one of the best characters ever. I love him. And you Gee. So when are you going to put all of Killers work, with some Demona on the side. You guys could have a book. Poetry of Killer, life, death, blood and Demona! How many pieces do you have now? And how many with Demona? Better than just any series. He's a serial killer!! Julie D.D.

we have

Quite a few pieces done. Most are of Killer. DeMona has her own as well as the few of them together. We edited the ones that we have so far a couple of weeks ago and are in the process of working on others. They are alot of fun to work with as they have developed from ideas into actual people.

Can I call you Carrie, or do

Can I call you Carrie, or do you prefer Hardcorechick28. JK So I in no way meant toss Demona to the side. I have greatly enjoyed her calaborations with Killer. I just need to go read Demona. You. For the facts are I usualy like the bad ass chick. I will make sure to read up. I have a huge plate at the exact second. But soon. I am sure to enjoy it! And a book with killer and any callaboration with DeMona to compliment each other, would be a hit! Julie D.D.

you can

Call me Carrie. hardcorechick was a name I came up with because I didnt know what else to call myself. DeMona has just really started evolving where Killer has been in progress for a while. I have had a series of complicated events in my life the last few months and have really gotten away from my writing. I am trying to slowly get back into it. In the process of working on a book as well as getting my other poems together..whichever manuscript gets together first...LOL. We are working on getting a book together....stay tuned....

Let's do it...

together. Killer is anxious to get together with DeMona again. I know our schedules make it hard, but I really would like to make the time. Killer is not about to push DeMona to the side. He needs to have someone who understands him, close. His adventures with her make him happy, and I am not about to piss him off! I think it would be fun to have them do the Valentine's Day thing by speaking together in the same write. What do you think? Sort of like the dialog in a play or script. Killer thinks that is one of the best ideas he's heard in awhile. He almost pushed me out of the way just now, and took over the keys! LOL Maybe I should let him, he might be a better typist than me. LOL See ya soon, ~ Gee

GREAT IDEA

I would love to try having them in the same poem!!!!!!! I had an idea like that when I was working on the Ghost and The Huntress but i could never make it sound right. Maybe with yours and Killer's guidance...we can turn it into quite the script....Neopoet isnt just limited to poetry :). DeMona has missed Killer's company as you know she has been caught up in the midst of other turmoil and chaos. She also needs someone who understands. I would like to make the time as well....Killer and DeMona's Valentines.....talk soon....:)
