Heed the sound of the alarm
Unscented, Poisonous

That's deadly for sure, especially the fact that carbon monoxide is odourless! Loved your Haiku!
truth in art, having been underground miner for 40 plus years, toxic gasses are very familiar, good job buddy
Very informative and a bit morbid, but in a good way.
Scary stuff not to be taken lightly, for sure! Nice job!
Cool angle!
Very clever!! Loved it :) Although when I saw the title, I thought I didn't know there was a town in Colorado named Deadly...I may need to drink my coffee now. Really great work on this one!
Nicely done.
