Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

A Body Possessed

A body possessed is a spirit that
knows no compassion, for soul grew weak.
Evil’s roots took hold. Bleak became
eyes that once could see the light.
Spirit lost will to fight.
A sinister grin
curves the host’s lips.
Sanity
now is
lost.

Quoth Theraven July 16, 2025 at 12:00 PM Andrea, What a soul you've created in this eye opener of an Etheree. Makes you wonder what's lost during the seeking of needful things. A nod to Stephen King. -Richard

Bill Baker July 14, 2025 at 4:49 PM Excellent, Etheree, Andrea. A sad thing to happen to anyone, though it does seem to happen to many these days. Thought-provoking poetry at its best, my friend. Write On! Your poet friend in Texas, Bill

Paige Hind July 12, 2025 at 5:58 PM You really described that well, Andrea. It seems so easy to lose sanity when faced with all the atrocity in this world sometimes...we gotta care for one another! We're connected to Spirit. <3 Enjoyed your poem!
