Doth Mock the Meat It Feeds On-W

Do you see that man on the right corner?
How that Libra man flirts with that girl
Oh, what is this nagging emotion I have?
Why can’t I take away my eyes from him?
Damn that Libran getting near to her.
I am a tigress but now purr like a cat.
Why? Why? How can he do that to her?
I want him to my side for me instead
Oh God, how strange do I feel inside?
I am getting mean, angry and sad
I understand now it is green jealousy.

Green signifies growth, health ,happiness
On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy.

============================

Fourth placement in
My inspiration for this poem is " Why is jealousy green?
Contest: How do I answer that question? In honor of Paula Swanson
