What Hell Is This? Poem by Elena Plotkin

Good theme, good rhyme.

The other definition of Shaitan is an Evil Genie who grants wishes that always turn out badly

Elena, What Helplessness is this that has no right to any help, but only leaves one feeling too foolish to cry out or yelp? i like these two lines especially, even though i think of a yelp as a doggy cry-out. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i like the use of inure even though i had to look the word up online. nice rhyming (throughout poem) . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - What Hell is this that has plenty of demons and no Satan, but only knows one gatekeeper and that be a Shaitan? ...nice rhyme, but i found online that the first definition given for Shaitan (i was unfamiliar with the word) is Satan, so it kind of contradicts the first line. OK, i'll let it go [this time] since you put a in front of Shaitan, and because there ARE other definitions besides Satan. thanks for sharing. bri
