Guilt and Tears

Guilt and tears Who are you to do the deed But cry at the sear Fall in deep But lie out of fear Sin or not Guilt seeks destruction Of everyone in its clot Fled the temptation Of mercy not despot She, he or they None the wiser Capable of escape So climbed up higher In search of the tare Little not much Did they feel on top So they trodded, thought fun Down and down; they stop Their guilt yet not outrun *tare is a very common plant 6 September 2021 Quintain (Sicilian) Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Emile Pinet
