Heard about Tomino’s Hell? It’s a cursed Japanese urban poem from Japan with one rule: you’re better off reading Tomino’s Hell poem in your head, not out loud. Trust me, it’s for the best. Before I get into my interpretation, along with my thoughts on the story, take a look if you dare! But remember, don’t read it out loud!
The Haunting Poem: Tomino’s Hell
The elder sister vomits blood, younger sister’s breathing fire. While sweet little Tomino just spits up the jewels. All alone does Tomino go falling into that dark hell, a hell of utter darkness, without even flowers. Is Tomino’s big sister the one who whips him? The purpose of the scourging hangs dark in his mind. Lashing and thrashing him, ah! But never quite shattering. One sure path to Avici, the eternal hell. Into that blackest of hells guide him now, I pray to the golden sheep, to the nightingale. How much did he put in that leather pouch to prepare for his trek to the eternal hell? Spring is coming to the valley, to the wood, to the spiraling chasms of the blackest hell. The nightingale in her cage, the sheep aboard the wagon, and tears well up in the eyes of sweet little Tomino. Sing, o nightingale, in the vast, misty forest he screams he only misses his little sister. His wailing desperation echoes throughout hell—a fox peony opens its golden petals. Down past the seven mountains and seven rivers of hell the solitary journey of sweet little Tomino. If in this hell they are found, may they then come to me, please, those sharp spikes of punishment from Needle Mountain. Not just on some empty whim is flesh pierced with blood-red pins: they serve as hellish signposts for sweet little Tomino.
As a kid, I was always the eccentric one out of the bunch. The creative, introverted child with an uncanny obsession for horror. To me, horror meant—and still (as an adult) is—a somewhat unpleasant excitement of emotion. Not only that, but it also triggers a fear from within and brings curiosity out of me, which is why I am always eager to experience and search for more horror experiences. That is to say, whatever would be considered ”too scary to handle” for someone else, whether that is being in the pitch-black dark, summoning an evil spirit like (bloody Mary) in the mirror, or talking to the dead people through a vintage, badly curved ouija board, I am the first to explore it.
The Origin History of Tomino’s Hell
A few weeks ago, I was lucky to stumble across a Japanese poem called “Tomino’s Hell” released in 1919 and recorded in the poetry collection Sakin. Rumor has it that if you read the poem out loud, you will either die or your soul will suffer eternally in hell. If you are wondering who was behind the creation of such a dark, witty, and creepy urban legend, his name was Saijō Yaso.
If you are not familiar, Saijō was a known Japanese poet who worked on children’s nursery rhymes and popular song lyrics. I wanted to do further research on the artist himself, but there was not much about him in English. I did come upon a possible inspiration behind the poem and the age he was when he created it. It is said that “Tomino’s Hell” was created when Saijō was 27 years old, and the inspiration came after experiencing a great loss of either his father or sister, nothing more than that. I was a bit confused about what I discovered about the poet, but, surprisingly, there is a vast amount of information about the cursed poem. Apparently, there have been multiple reported incidents regarding the poem, and one was the death of director Shūji Terayama.
The Connection to Den-en ni shisu (1974)
There was no secret that Shūji so highly admired “Tomino’s Hell” that he created a film inspired by it. The movie Den-en ni shisu (Pastoral: To Die in the Country, also known as Pastoral Hide and Seek) was released in 1974, and Terayama died a few years later at the age of 47 from cirrhosis of the liver. Strangely enough, some skeptics believe otherwise. They believed it was the poem that killed him. In another case, a female college student died a week after reading the poem out loud while participating in a daring prank. Other cases include illnesses, car wrecks, and the feeling of an evil presence lingering around.
Personal Thoughts on the Curse of Tomino’s Hell
The way I feel about the ”death rumors” regarding the Tomino’s Hell poem is that I am a bit superstitious about it, but, in some way, but I beg to differ. I am a strong believer in the law of attraction: what we constantly think about will eventually manifest into our lives. Don’t you agree?—and if you’re asking what do I mean by that, in other words, if you truly believe that something will happen to you, then it will. We are all made of energy, the positive and the negative. Another scenario: if you think positively, your energy will attract good things to you, and if you think negatively then…you get my drift. But regardless of what I believe, I initiated a further review to see what was the mystery behind the meaning of the story.
Interpreting Tomino’s Hell: A Metaphorical Analysis
As I was reading through the poem, my thoughts were that the composition style of the story was indecipherable but quite fascinating. The poem was originally written in Japanese, which (in my opinion) made the English translation difficult to understand. One thing that I did notice repeatedly throughout the entire poem is it only mentioned his two sisters. Nothing pointed towards Saijō’s father. So, there could be a possibility that the inspiration behind the poem is referring to his sister, but it is still unclear whether it is regarding the elder or younger sister.
I wonder, could “Tomino’s Hell” be about Saijō’s secret childhood that is unknown to the public? The meaning behind the story is still a mystery. It also had occurred to me that there could be an open interpretation of whatever you think the story is about to you. While some readers interpret the poem to be a metaphor for war, and so on, I view it in another way by thinking outside of the box.
As complicated as the poem may seem, my easy way of coming up with an interpretation is that I analyzed the story metaphorically. My interpretation may not be exactly what the story is about, but it is just my way of being imaginative, which I feel what makes the poem even more intriguing. At the beginning of the story, it was obvious who was all involved, but no names were attached other than Tomino.
Elder sister vomits blood,
younger sister’s breathing fire
while sweet little Tomino
just spits up the jewels.
Figuratively speaking, what it means to “vomit blood” is to be frustrated and stressed about a particular situation. To “breathe fire,” or what I’ve imagined it to be, is a person who is holding back and keeping things unspoken. “While Tomino spits up the jewels”: I’d say he is keeping a secret about something or someone—and the short phrase (jewels) could be referring to “family jewels.”
After breaking down the beginning of the story, I believed that his elder sister was frustrated about a situation pertaining to her younger brother, Tomino. While her younger sister, on the other hand, could possibly be the ”family member” who is involved or is aware of Tomino’s secret.
Tomino is feeling all alone in the situation. He can’t speak of it to anyone because he is fearful that while having these sinful thoughts about someone in the family, his punishment would be that his soul will suffer eternally in hell where he’d never see broad light and the flowers bloom again.
Which now I suspect that Tomino is fearing these sinful thoughts about his elder sister. “Is Tomino’s big sister the one who whips him?” That is where I question, could his elder sister be abusive towards him and the younger sister?
Lashing and thrashing him, ah! But never quite shattering. One sure path to Avici, the eternal hell. Into that blackest of hells guide him now, I pray—to the golden sheep, to the nightingale.
Exploring the Depths of Tomino’s Despair
It seems that Tomino is reliving a moment where his elder sister became angry at him or possibly towards both his sister and himself. The word shattering means very shocking or upsetting—but while it mentioned “never quite shattering,” I feel that the situation with his elder sister was not a surprising one, that it had become a constant situation between the two. In Buddhism, Avici means the lowest level of the Naraka or “hell” realm. So, it tells me that Tomino could have entered into a deep dark hell of depression, praying that he heals the pain that lies beneath his mind.
Is “Tomino’s Hell” curse poem true?
The curse remains a mysterious shadow. Some people brush it off as just a superstition, while others get a thrill from the spooky unknown. So, is the curse of ‘Tomino’s Hell’ real? It teeters on the edge of reality and imagination, making us wonder about the mysteries that lie just beyond our everyday world.
What are some really scary stories/urban legends?
- ‘Candle Cove’ tells the eerie tale of a children’s television show that leaves its viewers with profoundly unsettling memories.
- ‘Ted the Caver’ narrates the experiences of an amateur cave explorer who encounters bizarre and terrifying phenomena within a mysterious cave.
- ‘The Midnight Man’ describes a horrifying game in which participants summon a dark entity, with dire consequences for those who fail to adhere to the rules.
- ‘The Three Kings’ is another chilling game that purportedly allows individuals to glimpse into other dimensions, though they risk encountering nightmarish beings.
- These stories captivate and frighten us, illustrating our fascination with exploring the unknown and experiencing a good scare.
How to get rid of Tomino’s hell curse?
Ah, the spooky Tomino’s Hell curse! To break it, start by getting a protective charm, like a special amulet or a positive-energy crystal. Find a peaceful spot—a quiet forest or a cozy corner at home—and light candles in a circle to invite good vibes. Say a sincere spell asking kind spirits to cleanse your aura. Sprinkle salt at your doors and windows to keep bad energy away. Lastly, do kind and positive things, as goodwill can chase away even the darkest curses. Remember, your own bright spirit holds the power to break free!
Conclusion: The Mystery of Tomino’s Hell
The poem is a metaphor for his painful thoughts. Tomino travels through the different dimensions of hell in the misty forest as the sheep carry the wagon. The caged nightingale sings along the way while he nervously awaits upon his arrival. He screams out in desperation, sounds of wailing, and echoes throughout the forest for his younger sister. As he journeys past the seven mountains and rivers of hell, the weight of his despair grows heavier, dragging him further into the abyss.
When he arrives at the “golden petal,” which could be referring to the gates of hell, Tomino sees a spirit animal or what I call “spirit guide,” who guides him to see the light at the end of the tunnel (an end of a difficult situation). Yet he goes further deep through the mountains (depression) and into the dark hell, alone. Then the confusion came in towards the ending, which led me to put the whole story together to get a potential outcome.
A possible conclusion: I think the poem was written in a metaphorical sense. It’s like stepping in the mind of a person who is being paranoid and delusional. Maybe it could be referring to a young boy (Tomino) who is experiencing some kind of mental illness such as schizophrenia (when a person interprets reality abnormally and may result in some combination of hallucinations or delusions), a definition which I think complements the story very well.
It was also obvious that the love and bond he had shared with his younger sister was stronger than the bond with the eldest, which brought to my attention that maybe he didn’t have a great relationship with her at all. I did sense that there was some kind of abandonment, and without the story mentioning anything about Tomino’s parents or anyone else besides his two sisters, I feel that the elder sister was in charge of watching over Tomino and the younger sister.
Throughout the poem, it talked about punishment. His elder sister could have also been very abusive to both of them and, because of that, the anger that Tomino felt against her was unbearable. He feared that if he had sinful thoughts and feelings against his elder sister that his soul will burn eternally in hell. It was not stated if Tomino was religious, but there were a few sentences that spoke of Buddhism.
I read that Buddhists believe that suffering is part of life that is to be expected and that if a person experiences pain calmly, without becoming emotionally distressed, he can attain greater states of being. In this case, I feel that it was difficult for Tomino to do that. Maybe he was aware of being on a spiritual journey, going through lessons, and trying to find his way to surrender the pain and guilt that he felt regarding the situation with his elder sister.
Either way, the logic behind Tomino’s Hell is still unknown, and after discovering more interpretations swarming around the internet of “Tomino’s Hell poem,” I can ironically say that my thoughts are mutual.

I’m going to read it now. 7 March 2023
my friend read it out loud It’s been a few months, and its a lie because he still hasn’t died. Yet.
Ohh my god so I also read it loud
I read it out loud. Nothing happened that day, or for the rest of the week. But the next week, I started feeling more and more tired to the point where I fell asleep in class and didn’t wake up until the end. I had been losing sleep because of weird dreams I had been having. I was in a long, white corridor, I couldn’t see either end of the corridor. The creepy lady from the curse was Infront of me with her hand outstretched. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t even close my eyes or turn my head. After a few minutes of staring at each other, My hand began to inch closer to hers, our fingers eventually touched and she screamed very loudly. I woke up immediately with the scream still ringing in my ears. I looked down at the hand she had touched and I had a big red mark where she had touched.
You just assumed worse about it that why you had that dream, everything starting mentally …….. l didn’t think worst of it and nothing ever happened to me. So don’t assumed worst on stuff mentally because they always appeared physically in the end .
I had the exact dream, that actually scared me when I read it.
Ayo, I just read it out loud
Bro nothing happened to me I read it in my karoke mic 7 days/1week ago. All of this is just a myth. And even if this is real then neither did I die nor something bad happened to me or in my surroundings. If it has happened to someone i.e someone died after reading this poem out loud the happy death day to you.
Bro guys I read it and now I’m experiencing some weird shit idk if it’s a coincidence or something but my head feels too heavy for my neck and it hurts really bad, I’m dizzy and my vision is slightly distorted, and when I went to pull my laundry into the laundry room it suddenly got really heavy- whats freaking me out is that none of this was happening until shortly after I read the poem
I poem as loud 📢🔊
I disagree with your take on the poem. You are neglecting family jewels can be gender and he is the preferred gender of his country. Perhaps his father preferred him and a sister died somehow due to this preference.
To breathe fire is often to be angry, or to have tuberculosis or the like.
@bloom if you read the article carefully I did state that it’s an opinion. Which I have every right to have one and go with it. Just like you have your own opinion on what it might mean to you, I can too. It wasn’t meant for anyone to agree or disagree with it.You do believe that we are all entitled to have an opinion, right? Tbh, I’m not sure what it actually means. Especially since it’s written in Japanese and translated poorly in English. I could be wrong but that is my interpretation of what it may mean TO ME and I’m keeping that. Sorry
I also want to highlight what I wrote in the article if you missed it, “ My interpretation may not be exactly what the story is about, but it is just my way of being imaginative, which I feel what makes the poem even more intriguing.”
um nothing happened
My heart was beating very fast I didn’t even read it out loud

Bro… If you love such… you must be Satan’s brother!
It’s been 2yrs, I’ve read it in English and Japanese too but I’m still not dead…… Sigh* sad
This actually might be real cause just today I heard one of my classmates talk about this and I joined the conversation and told her that I had tried it but nothing happened but then she told me she had a nightmare and she saw a girl holding her hair up and vomiting. I realized that even I had the similar nightmare about a girl but in mine she was just screaming and it looked like she was being burnt alive. All I could see was different shades of red and orange and some black in my nightmare and so did she. We were both really scared and it turns out we both had tried this 4 years back and until now we were just strangers and now we feel connected by a nightmare.
I know this sounds fake and it might be a coincidence but we still think it is dangerous to try this.
Well no one is thinking it’s fake or it might we only u know the reality but I could just say if u think abt the same thing again so it comes in our dream. U know what if anyone gets a real nightmare I don’t think that prsn is even will be there to tell anyone.
In the poem it says that Tomino’s elder sister vomits blood. And a girl being burnt in fire? Tomino’s younger sister breathes FIRE
i read it out loud two times in my class and then i got two random blood clots

I have read the peom out loud to some friends and nothing has happened yet..
Are you still alive-?
Hi, Guys. I read it loud 4 to 5 times at night in a dark room alone because it was my dare and guys believe me nothing strange happened to me. This story is fake. In the comment section, some people are telling to read it in Japanese so, I will also try to read it aloud in Japanese and tell you whether it is fake or not. But in English, nothing happened so you can read it in English.
so is it fake?
Hey I didn’t read it out loud … Nothing will happen right? Please reply
I don’t know if somthing will happen…
I read it out loud and guess what I’m fine nothing happened.
I’m not sure to be honest. Give it a shot if u want
Maybe I will read it out loud when I’m old and about to die so it doesn’t matter anymore XD See you in 60 years or so.
Its too scary 😰😰😰
Just kidding
Nothing happened I literally read it 10-11 times
😑😑
This is soo fake nothing happens to me!!!
I read it aloud 3-4 times but nothing strange happened. It’s just an urban legend and nothing else. You’ll are taking it very seriously 🤣😂
i read this outloud abt 2 minutes ago if I don’t respond that mean I’m dead asleep eating outside or doing things
i read this 5 months ago and I’m not dead :/
Oh, wait! You meant demon, ghost and spirits? Haha. I was like, what is a daemon? Cool comment! Glad that you read through it. Made you read the poem, right? How did it go for ya? 😌
Is this even real? I will read it aloud
u dead?
I feel like this is one of those things that sometimes work and sometimes don’t. Whoever wrote this article said that if we think something it will be real (or something along those lines). I think it’s true. Since I want to read it out loud, I wonder what will happen?
That is true.
I was doing some research for horror or cursed poems for a project with some friends on a zoom call, and i stumbled upon this article. As I read through it, I felt as if something was twisting my stomach, then one of friend pointed out that the wall next to the washroom had a hand scratching. I scrolled to comment section in a frenzy and it dissappeared. For a few days i had nightmare about this poem I could see a little boy in the flower fields and at random intevals the boy woud be standing in flames with hollow eyes and dagger – like teeth.
You aren’t talking about this poem you die but no Daemon, Ghost, spirits, or anything you just die from any cause
I wrote it in my phone…. I’m going to say it out loud TONIGHT
That would actually make sense. I read this bc I did a quiz on what Japanese urban legend I would be. I got Tomino’s Hell so I wondered what it was. The pictures on this website have a little child in a field of flowers right?
I will not read this poem out loud but if I must I will
OMG, I DIED.
Just kidding but I read half aloud.
This is so dumb lol i read it out loud and nothing has happend yet but ofc its fake um so yuh
look it up go on the website that holds it than is it gonna be fake Reply if you are alive
I did it but I survive for 2 days, Then after that, I got lucky after that day, Also I was a child too, So I survive😌
I just read it out loud im lokey scared as I have to go to sleep soon
I read this months ago and I’m alive ya’ll tryna make us scared for some nigga who killed herself and wrote a poem ya’ll are dead ass.
i read it loud two days ago and im fine
I just read it loud , hope I don’t die
I went ahead and said, but not as a dare, I said to respect it and the maker of it, a poem left unsaid feels like a taboo to me, soi figured that people that says it without respect are quite literally mocking and making fun of it(which probably pisses off the spirit) I will leave a reply if something happens however, I do hope that if there really is a spirit that it doesn’t take offence in my meaning of why I say it. If I don’t reply then I probably did die, I’m not scared if die tho, my life is pretty much hell anyways.
this guy posted this 2 years ago and hasn’t replied. he is dead now.
I’m a girl btw and more alive than ever! 💁🏾♀️

I read it out loud…..Am i dead ?
I felt Itches all over my body while reading it(Not out loud) It felt like i was getting heavy and like i was getting puffed up more
I read it in my mind hope I don’t DIE
You will if you read it out loud Reply if you are alive
The best way to get gacha suicidal
let me if any thing further happens to u tell me, k?
we will keep in touch with each other. I am a big believer, Bloody Mary used to kill me in my dreams when i was 7 over and over again. have you got anything like that happen to you Spooked By Looks.
I read just the first part of the poem and I just got a bloody nose and after it stopped I coughed up blood
get a doctor u could be very sick
not kidding ifeel sick
sorry posted it twice 😉
but actually what the name of his dad?
I think this is about Saijō Yaso’s dads childhood and the spirit in this could be his dad. did we even get his dads name?
i think the spirit could be his dad and that Tomino is his dad. so the poem is about his dads childhood. did we even get the dads name?
காண்பது பொய் இங்கு எதுவும் நிரந்திரம் இல்லை ஆக மரணம் என்பது உண்மை என்றால் இவையால் வருவது எனக்கு மகிழ்ச்சி….. ஆனால் என்னுடைய வாழக்கை இவையால் முடியாது என்பது எனக்கு தெரியும் ஆக இது பொய்யாக இருக்கலாம்
நான் தீபன்…. I am ghost…
You alive??
Honestly I don’t get scared by things like this, but I’m not an idiot so I didn’t read it out loud. I’ll prolly get scared tonight tbh lol
IDK what is so scary about this poem. it felt all normal while reading it. i read it like twice, one in mind and once out aloud it is probably a legend. but id say the poem is beautiful
nothing happens. Fake
I read it loud but nthg happened to me it is just an imaginary thing that suffers by tomino he saw that and he came from hell it is all one dream, nthg bad happens to others if you stop thinking. If you think about anything deeply it affects your brain more which shows you some negative energy.
i read it out loud and im fine lol i read it out loud twice
Guys.. it might be true.. there is something touching me on my shoulder while I read it in my mind and I see nothing.. it said if u read louder u might not die but u been lucky enough.. then if u do it again or already done it u might get bad luck and things while happen to u.
I read it aloud and now I feel like vomiting
Hmm I think that im having a headache..
ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! ALL OF YOU WILL DIE IN HELL!!
Astaghfirullah, i hope u know that everybody knows this such of stuff is fake:)
ew tomino wanna be
No one is going to die mf
Hahaha, i just read it out loud, i hope im still safe but can you guys reccomend me some cursed things like this..
i wanna know if anyone died from reading this
Yikes! I wanted to read it out loud but don’t wanna take risks … Read it in my mind..
I read it loud … Well I m alive hahaha..nothing happened so farr..well is just fak
Are you alive?
i read it in my brain what will hapen
i read it out loud 4 times like 2 months ago, and i’m still here. Never believe these such of poems, they are fake, and they just want to scare you. Stay safe y’all!
Did u feel anything when u read it?
Nothing, it’s fake! They want to scare you.
yo momma fake <3
I read it out loud but nothing is wrong is it Bc I’m young and 9…?
no i read it like 2 yrs ago im fine
this poem proves that there is a difference between outloud and in your head
True!
Meanwhile im 12 and im paranoid abt this
Nice poem
i heard about this last night on a Shane Dawson video,
i’m too chicken to read it out loud, can someone that has read it tell me what happens after? i’d be very Proud, and I will Bow.
Hey, i read this aload and i’m still alive and good. It can’t kill the human, humans are too strong to be killed by this. Sorry for my bad English, i’m only studying this language.
Nothing didn’t happened to me yet cause I read today
I Haven’t Read It Yet But I Have Seen The Comments And They Aren’t Very Scared Like I Thought They Would Be But Im About To Read It Right Now So…:)
I will never read this poem in my all life
@boo yes! You can only read it in your mind.
what if out loud? i did it 4 times
you dead
Is it ok to read the poem in your mind?
I just read it out loud, I feel like I’m going to vomit,
personally i think if you actually believe in dark magic curses sprits and etc. this would work. by my personal experience i believe in this stuff because what if there is a sprit or an actual curse tied to it and maybe the deaths were because they angered the sprit or someone planned it and maybe it is the aura that causes it to become real, you will never truly know. but i was always told never mess with the devil but that my experience i don’t know about others.
I think so it’s not true because it’s just a poem and I won’t believe it that when we read it loud we’ll die bla bla bla just they wanna make attraction on this and I’ve read it louder last week and I’m now here and what you are saying is truly right that always think positive because what you are thinking is going to happen so always think positive 😊
I readed it loudly but nothing is happening to me it’s just a fake rumor 😂
OMG wtf i read it out loud and believe me guys i’m dead now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
How are you sending a comment then ???
they didn’t reply back so they’re probably dead already…
Once again, I’m alive people! I wrote this article but I did NOT read the poem out loud. 😏😏😏😎🤭🤭🤭💁🏾♀️
are you still alive?
I read this 12 days ago nothing happened yall are just to scared from an online article
yup its 100% fake i readed it 3months ago. infact my life is better now
Good boy
I think reading the poem loud won’t kill but if you truly understand the poem and feel how Tomino feels you might just have depressing thoughts
Which could be death or worse
Is there anything worser than death
living
Damn i want to read it out loud and not at the same time now i dont know what to do
DAMN
Yes, living with depression.
i said it and i did not sleep at night lamo
Nice poem i have read this a loud 2 times but iam fine i don’t believe in such a way that she is dead she is suffering from this form many years so sad but i dont now why people say when we read thise we will dae dont belive in thise things be positive tq😎
you only die about a few days after reading it aloud therefore giving you plenty of time to read it twice
yes i have readed this peom 3 months ago loudly but see i am fine
I survive
Uh, oh! Be careful guys! 😉
I read it and I got a headache, strange because its rare for me to get headaches.
Wsh c la même chose mais après j ai eu mal à la gorge putain faut vraiment qu on ne le lis pas à voix haute . De tt façon. Les légendes ecttt je l est crois pourquoi¿ car tous est possible le monde est grand la galaxie aussi l océan et l univers donc tous est possible
i just read it out loud hope i dont die 😀
DID YOU DIE
i think he died- ignore my username LMAO
Just read it
DID HE
I’ve read it out loud like 2-3 years ago and nothing happened and I’ve read it again today.
As the owner said, it will happen if you believe it will happen whether it’s negative or positive.
Are you alive?
I still stand by that belief
The hell…..they don’t even reply… I’m scared now
Okay, so I read the above interpretation of “Tomino’s hell” out loud about 20 minutes ago, and I am still alive. Besides the fact that I believe you probably must read the poem in Japanese in order for the curse to be effective, because, as I said, we are only reading the interpretation of the poem. But, even if I was fluent in Japanese, and read this poem in the original Japanese in which it was written, I do not believe in curses or incantations. I feel completely confident in the fact that my fundamental Christian beliefs and spirituality would protect me from any alleged curse. Additionally, after writing this, another 20 minutes or so have passed by, and I still am not experiencing any headaches, and I am also very much alive (verified by two distinct individuals who happened to be sitting here with me as I type this comment, 1 of whom I read the above interpretation to). I am hopeful that I may be coming back to horrorobsessive.com to read any possible comments about this poem, but in all likelihood that will probably not occur.
bro im scared
same
I read it out loud?
I said the poem out loud, don’t really believe anything bad will happen.
Are you dead? Because you said it out loud.

Damn…is this real… it’s been 2 fckking years but no reply from that dude!!
Yes, I am alive guys! But I did not read this out loud, of course! 😉
4 months ago sheeeesh
I’ve heard rumors about this poem all over the internet. Facebook, YouTube, tiktok etc. I did some research about the poem. I also thought it was a joke but after i heard a lot of ppl died because of. That’s when i decided not to read it out loud. Seeing a lot of ppl dared to read the poem out loud knowing it costs their life just breaks my heart. I hope y’all don’t read this out loud because this poem, gave me intense goosebumps
I read it loudly… let’s see what happens… I don’t believe in these fake news😅😅
Same here bro i read it from two days and I’m alive that too loud!!!
Tekh
Hey yoooh you still alive?😂🤣
hi are you ok, alive??
Yes Buddy I’m fine I’m Still Alive
i got a huge headache after reading it out loud
Ngl i want to read it out loud but i have long live to live still
Read it when you are old.
You alright bro
SAME
I did too wtf.. every time I took a break to breath while reading my side started hurting too
I wrote this poem in the wall of my Neighbour’s wall and he is missing since 5 years
it’s funny when i read the part where you said “5 years ago” because in reality, it’s actually a long time ago according to google that this poem was made in 1919. so what you are saying is 100% fake
Same. I got it it my left eye
i am fine but i didn’t read it out loud
you are ok?
Are you alright? Cause like am someone who kind of believes these urban legends sooo um , are you really fine!?
Oo my i read it out loud lets see what happens ?? Wish goodluck for me guys!!😚

Haha. So great, guys! I’m afraid to say the poem out loud as well.
I was actually mouthing the words and shut my mouth quickly. I wasn’t even going to RISK mouthing it.
🤐
I got scared and I didn’t even read it out loud
Thats basically the point
Nah I read it loud just right now nothing has happened, but yeah if I don’t comment here on this website again in 1 week then be sure that I’m dead.

I have read this pome but not loud
sorry bro
I like hearing a good Japanese Urban Legend, but for this one… It’s just, I’m speechless… This kind of reminds me of Bloody Mary, and Candyman. And speaking of: “The elder sister vomits blood, The younger sister breathes fire”, I actually have mild emetophobia! And No, I did not read this yet, Never will.
