i've always thought that hell made more sense as a frigid place, where your only warmth comes from yourself- wonderful job conveying the hopelessness - wish i'd read this earlier - it's clearly an award-winner.

Great work Barbara. Since we don't know what hell is really like (because nobody's come back to tell us) I suppose one theory is as good as another. All we need to know is that it is not a nice place to be. And the scenes you give us are of such a place. Well done. Well worthy of the award.

"Abandon all hope yea who enter here," Dante describes various regions of hell as fierce cold. Named after the Viking goddess of the underworld, Hella and much like the Greek Tartarus. Great Barbara.

It is the check that keeps us on the right path in this life. An inbreed fear of a place of torment if we cross that moral line of humanity..! A great discription of it..!

Brrrr-rrr--rrr....You have put us into a chilling landscape, Barb~!
Your magnificent imagination has taken us upon a dark and almost 'enchanting' place....Images abounding~!

Barbara- This comes chillingly close to an essay I wrote
several years ago. I never ceases to amaze me that, no matter what you you do, some has thoughts very similar
to your own. You have captured very eloquently, what I
perceive Hell to be in part. It is interesting what was
actually being pictured to the original Biblical hearers, when a description of Hell was given. What is myterious to us was clear to them. Great Poem! ----Poetrydad----
