Poetry: Raising the Devil

mask-2014554_960_720

Her last three footsteps
raised the devil.

At the sight of her,
hell surrendered –
besieged by the spirits
of plunder and
confiscation.

(Another blackout poem inspired by A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens)

This is beautiful, and black out poetry is where you use a page of literature and only select certain words?
