Soul Adorned In Greed

Please read.

A rose for every heart,

every new thorn we intake,

and a breath we lose from shock

robs a day of life from weak souls

Vines straddling their way up a corpse

engulfing now, saving for later.

Here remains two identical faces, 

like murderers and saviors.

A penny for death and dime for life

down River Styx in grimed style

the demon and angel arrive

both souls adorned with greed.

Nice work. Some good lines as mentioned below stand out, and overall the poem Is well done. Good title for the content. It seems like familiar territory for you poetically , yet very creative and with a sense of firm completion (for such a short poem). Keep writing. -Brandon

This is beautiful. I really loved the word choice. You're an excellent writer :) I really enjoy the last stanza. I wish I could come up with poems like this.

[Melody]

Aw, thank you! >.<
You would not believe how long it took me to write that last stanza...I was working on it through a few sleepovers as well. I think my friend was thinking "Oh my goodness...I can't believe this is happening...I'm actually being dumped for a poem." XD
I wish you luck with writing. *bows*
