- When the Demons Blossom -

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

Dean Wood Date: 5/30/2017 9:04:00 AM A great choice for POTD Anne-Lise. Congratulations. This is a powerful piece.

Robert Hayes Date: 5/30/2017 8:35:00 AM 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.
