Angel's cuppa tea...

She folded over the wildflowers,

   as a proper napkin sitting in her lap

pristine setting of china rose tea

    sipping daintily beneath her eyes

extra sugar in her brewed unraveling

poison of his cup

  was as profoundly robust as he

felt the toxicity of his words, 

  as he hit the floor she curtsied

knowing full well the only antidote

   was her desperate release to hell

Angel's Trumpets blared in perfect sync

How can something written so beautifully be so very dark in nature. Indeed nature does harness so much darkness often offered in such vibrant and wonderful colors. Enticing the wanderer to partake of this beauty until they realize the sweet nectar is pure poison...

Frieda your poetry is always amazing to me...always luring me into your world

What a lovely understated expression of revenge Frieda.. I am always going to stay on your good side... and make sure I drink none of your tea... what a line: "sipping daintily beneath her eyes
extra sugar in her brewed unraveling" Frieda, you don't need Vinny or Gio when you have Angel 's tea.. :-p

he got his....yay...

i could just see the look on her face as he fell over...reminds me of the end of "The Fury" with Amy Irving..."you go to hell" she said as his head blew off.

here it is more understated with the poison, nevertheless...potent.

What an irony, Angel's Trumpets would be poisonous. Who knew?! Not I. It works with and without that tantalizing piece of information. How intelligent and seductive this piece is....love it! Thank you very much for sharing it with us, my deadly writing friend!

Men use force women use poison. Colorful imagery.

In this I pictured the falling of an angel who betrayed a brother due to the toxicity and the passive-aggressive nature of his own sayings, how he would often inflict pain yet not get punished because nothing direct was done and your angel finally decided that she's had enough and took justice in her own hands. Well done, this had very lovely illustrations.

ahhhhh .. no honey ... i can't make it for coffee ... maybe some other time ... OK??? ;)

you weave such intricate beauty with such hidden venom ... damn Frieda ... you rock ... with scorpions under them :0
i do beware ... another treat of a poem ...
"Take me to the River" has roots that go back much farther than Al Green in '74 to me ... have to go look up Angels Trumpets now ...
