Fairy Tale Art By Viola Sado

My thoughts whirring When life freezes the blood Actions that burn in hell A fire that burns forever Terror - their empire of hate Fearless, they control our destiny Terrible destruction done by weak and miserable people They mark their strength as animals, with deposition of urine "Hell on Earth" these demons will inflict upon mankind Of human destruction and evil, woe and shame How likely we can find "The Earth's Paradise" I look far around, but not close We want to live in butterfly harmony From wing to wing - of their joy and dance 29 - 05 - 2017 (unrhymed couplets) Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

God is there, no doubt and no way to doubt that. He has already designed appropriate destination of all us. i believe that at last soul gets release from all bondage of illusory relationship. Like deed like heaven. Someone feels heaven as hell and vise versa. Beautiful poem filled with heartfelt emotion my dear lovely friend. Loved always, bl

Congratulations for a well-deserved PotD Anne-Lise. Those demons give us little reprieve these days and can so easily shatter our frail butterfly wings :) Amitiés

Hello Dear Anne-Lise, I just noticed your poem here this evening. Congratulations on POTD!! This one is a very marvelous couplet for sure. Yes, we must keep these demons from blossoming. One of mankind's many challenges among others. Balance, harmony, awareness, and justice are very important in helping us to combat this force of negativity. Superb Work!! TR/FAV in my book!! Cheers and Best, Gary

A great choice for POTD Anne-Lise. Congratulations. This is a powerful piece. It invokes a sense of the desperate and plenty of "ticked-off" in me. - Dean

The relinquishing metaphor serves to place the narrator squarely in a vulnerable position. In this piece it works and continues to work throughout. Your phrases follow the sentiment of utter helplessness, the colour of which is very much sensed by the butterfly imagery at the close. Very powerful write.
