THE AMULET'S ALLURING CHARM

Around the neck

Hangs the charm

That captures the eye

From a tribal clan.

To cast a spell

On those who seek

Only to be held

By the strong not the weak.

A symbol of power

In the hands of greed

Attempting their fate

On those it feeds.

Unleashing powers

That cannot be tamed

To wreak havoc

On minds enslaved.

Interesting subject and one wonders from whence it fell into your thoughts. You express well the way in which people are led to believe in magical powers as a way of control. As with any religious belief in fact. I think you meant wreak havoc?

Shades of the ring from LOTR here Andrew. An affecting piece of writing about an affecting piece of jewelry or any position of power. I like the title - it draws one in.
Very mysterious my friend.

Hi ANTO Yes you are right It sounds like LOTR but I didn't base this on LOTR but I like it!

Hi Andrew. Oh the power of the amulet . . . in the minds of the believers!!! A very clever write, again the levels are there, the veiled hints at metaphorical allusion are just so subtle and brilliant. great poem, alf

I feel honored to be the first one to leave a review. I must say, this one's another potent piece. The rhyme scheme is remarkable and great job on the figures of speech. It's simply clever!
