The Man Who Ruins Mondays

Expect no further word or sign
    from me.
Your own will is whole,
    upright, and free
and it would be wrong not to do
    as it bids you,

therefore I crown and miter
    you over yourself.

--Dante / Purgatorio, Canto XXVII [ Virgil ]

The Man Who Ruins Mondays
Was Born Amused
With A Jar Of Perforated Hearts.
The First 5000 Were In Accord To Action.

that was a very good start; and I'm interested as to see what else you do with it. I really enjoyed the overall feel, it just made me think something along the lines of *I can tell you what the final goal is but I won't tell you how to get there; you have to make it mean enough to figure out on your own* so yea, I enjoyed this alot, also I'm desperatly new here (lol) how do you add things to your favorites??

Beautiful piece. It is thought provoking and add the same time leads you only to want more.

Damn the man who ruins mondays.
I can't wait to see what this leads too.

He was The Divine Comedy afterall...you have me intriqued with the hearts...what were the other, aftre the first 5000, in accord with...or were they in accord at all...Hmmmmmm? You are now the Woman who ruined Sunday..lol...This has all the flavor of a Japanese Zen poem ...I cant name the type..Senryu or Haiku-ish, ..but in between these lines ...Your use of red, and not just as contrast but of blood fact and of response...juxtaposition is just another word for nothing left to lose (lol)...but IT is in there and my mind and doors are simply ajar and wondering. You are gonna make me learn more about Dante aren't you?! Thanks!

[Invisible Ink]

My senior thesis was on Dante, is anything more magnificent? I will continue to read on... You have intrigued me.

[Brother Wolf]

If Monday is ruined, it is done so by the one it is ruined for. No one else weilds such power.


This is, indeed , thought provoking, causing one to re-evalute..ideas.

[Craig Johnson]

rarely does something peak my interest so. Can't wait.

[Moonlight]

As in another review on this 'taste'...I'm looking forward to the novel as well!

Moonlight.

[Cory Clark]

who's will is more important then our own? a god that could never exist outside of ourselves? does that make us god? why would some one sacrafice one heart much less 5000 of them or one moment for that matter?

[R. MonaLeza]

You've got me interested. Damn I hate Mondays! Looking forward to the novel.

[Brett Campaigne]

the first 5000 hearts or mondays?





or sacrifices?

Considering that this Monday, the one that found me having to return to a painful job after a two-week vacation, was exceptionally depressing, I find this to be very true to home.

I must meet this man and ask him if he works for my company - and then kick him in the pants.

Great, Carol - good work, great start.
