[hometext] => I'm starting a collection on the seven deadly sins, those who , god forbid, may actually be following my poetry 'crazy people' should enjoy putting them together
[bodytext] => A flower sprouts To morning sun And tune of bee and dragonfly It opens its petals to the rays Of golden liquid life The flower embraces sloth and indulgence Among the ground the shadows seep In envy of the proud Who bare their faces to the sun without The need for self-doubt. The weeds in darkness plot and plan Away from beauteous eyes In jealousy they rot and wither For want of better life The flower feels their icy cold clench Along the roots that bind It tries to shriek in shock agonising Yet blind to all but glare and light The weed creeps up and higher Away from dank depths of despair Trying to bring the flower low It twists thorns and browns its leaves In sullen envious attempts Slowly the flower dies And is it glimpses it’s murderous foe it sees It can’t live when beauty is dead.
