The Vultures Grin

Beguiled are the victims of his sin. Welcome! Welcome! To the Vultures Grin. Using his charm and handsome good looks… Don’t be fooled by the cover of this book. He says he wears his heart on his sleeve… It’s all part of his plan to win and deceive. Be warned that behind that charming smile… Is a bitter twisted soul that’s evil and vile. The lies will flow as he’s mastered the art… He’s gained your trust, now the games will start. Behind closed doors where no one can see… You will soon be trapped, you cannot flee. What’s his is his, no sharing, no shame… He will bleed you dry and defame your name. The promises he makes are to miscue… His words are twisted and to construe. Ruffling his feathers while he picks at your soul… It won’t be long till he consumes you whole. After draining you of life he will throw you aside… He will run like a coward, not even a goodbye. I warn you now don’t trust this fool… He’s mean, conceited and extremely cruel. Turn and run fast, and run while you can… The Vultures Grin is his master plan.

Impressive. Flows well and never ran out of steam. We know all about vultures this side of the ditch. they swooped in after the Christchurch earthquakes and have never left. Left Christchurch in 88 but Family and friends had stories to tell of vultures in the air and sharks in the water. Posted poem called "what have you done to me". We have a wallaby problem here now. They are just starting to put their meat in pies. Do they do that your side of ditch. Best regards David in NZ

Really enjoyed your poem, especially the line: He’s gained your trust, now the games will start. And l loved this line: Ruffling his feathers while he picks at your soul… I can picture an old, nasty vulture picking at the carrion on the side of the road. Very well done!
