No Greater Love (Decmeber 2010)

Oh old, broken

And loathsome hag
Of poisonous breath
And surreptitious hand.
Banished from Eden
And all bless'd lands.
Oh old, loathsome
And broken hag.

Oh fie! Flimsy
And faltering man
Of insipid tongue
And most wretched plans;
Falling from grace
With works of sand.
Oh fie! Flimsy
And faltering man.

Oh, lamenting woman

And repenting man

I can think of no greater love

Than that, between
Poisoned men and

Women of mud.

The words in this are very powerful, "broken hag", "faltering man", "poisoned men and women of mud"! Absolutely creative and interesting perception on adam and eve! And I loooove the picture

'I can think of no greater love
Than that, between
Poisoned men and
Women of mud.'

The ending is beautiful The poem leads you on, and then you marvel at the ending. Well done!

I really like this! Love the style of this and really like the first stanza. A really well written piece.
- and writing this was probably a more enjoyable use of your time than that paper :D

"...no greater love / Than that, between / Poisoned men and / Women of mud"
Utterly intriguing - a very interesting combination indeed - the heart will not be prescribed in love...
