Hatred (Rictameter)

by HOLLY ARMER   Feb 20, 2006


Hatred
brewed in evil
blackening innocence
marring souls of the purest white
wreaking havoc upon society
always there beneath the surface
conjuring shadows of
diabolic
hatred

    Beautiful once again. i like the way you use words and brew them into heady concoctions - each time with a difference!

    Hi Holly

    Thanks for your continued support of my writings. I just want to let you know, I'm rubbish at commenting on yours. I write soppy, dreamy, rhyming crud...and you write poems. All these nonets, richtawhatsits and dictaaphones are way over my head, i couldn't write a proper poem to save my life.

    I'd like to say, "Wow, great poem, it inspired me" but all i really feel is "Damn! I'm so jealous of her!".

    which is a compliment i guess.

    best of luck to you Holly.
