Anvil Dreams

The anvil wallows on his heart 
His dreams, trodden, alas depart
Pride triggers a cursory front
The fierce justification hunt
He steps to nowhere from the start

    Pride leads to nowhere - wisdom and insight gives this poem a special message. I see it was a winner and it certainly deserves recognition! :)

    Hi Situation-I really meant "He steps" as in "He walks" I think it's ok as is but I appreciate your concern!

    Wow, I think I've been having "Anvil Dreams" too, Natalie. I like the way you describe pride griggering "a cursory front" and forcing him to step "to nowhere." Awesome poem, my friend, and I see congratulations are in order. Love, Carolyn
