Anita Odure Odeh Poet I do not know?

God's First Angel

/Kind and sweet was 
His gaze at first
Smooth and pale was his skin
Beauty beyond description 
Calm and peaceful was his voice
God's first angel!

Perfection was his image
God made him!
Good in his nature 
but he made evil
I could be like God was his thought
A master of my own

Be careful around him
For he was a clever one
"Gather up your armors
Revolt, for we are all gods"
But he spoke his language 
Lies!

A Fallen angel is all that is left
Of him who revolts
I met the devil
For he said "let me introduce myself
I am the devil and I bring pain"

My favorite of yours so far. (My classification would be Free Verse, someone else might see it differently.)
