Jealousy's Wrath (Envy's Twin Sister) Poem by Noel Horlanda

Jealousy's Wrath (Envy's Twin Sister)

Rating: 5.0


(1) Is like lightning bolt splits heaven in half
(2) It shakes the earth in moments laugh
(3) Causes onerous rumbling sound
(4) Sways ev’ry thing around
(5) Stirs hibernat’ng doves
(6) Ov’r rainbows above
(7) It swells abyss rivers,
(8) Sweet taste ever
(9) Is like trees aflame uphill
(10) Serenity reigns befell
(11) Fear prevails once more
(12) As rolling rain clouds adores
(13) It drizzles then moves away
(14) Fanned by gales from the bay
(15) Only to return later in a day
(16) A bucket of cold water empti’d
(17) Losses it’s strength accorded
(18) Rekindles when coddl’d
(19) Regains its force befuddl’d
(20) Its potency, its intensity
(21) Hard headed, curiosity
(22) Conqueror of vanity
(23) A difficulty is nothing no matter what
(24) Tears down any thing along its path
(25) Having close mind it doesn’t care
(26) It’s blind, hard of hearing yet dares
(27) Now and then goes berserk
(28) Doesn’t know what to do, it quirks
(29) Unintelligible yet outwits neurons
(30) Looks stupid, inept, moron
(31) Easily explodes, possessive
(32) But tender, submissive
(33) At times it cries,
(34) At times it vies,
(35) At times it yells
(36) It rings the bell
(37) Mad, imbecile
(38) Not o’ for sale
(39) No nonsense,
(40) Nor horse sense

I got to say I have never read anything like this before.. You are such a philosopher indeed. This is a great thought provoking piece.. I guess you can write your own dictionary about certain terms(kidding) /... Very nice. Well Done! ! 10 regards Shan
