Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Jealousy and Envy

Jealousy is crimson
Envy is green
They can make you vindictive
They can make you real mean!

They raise up their heads
So ugly and cruel
At inopportune moments
They can make you a fool!

You blow up in anger
You take a great fit
To find you're in error
And now must admit!

Why do we do it?
Why are we prone
To fits of frustration
When proof is unknown?

It has no place
In a loving affair
So have faith in your partner
Give them some air!

It will go a long way
To a happier time
If you trust each other
And your hearts are in rhyme!

Jealousy is crimson
Envy is green
They can make you vindictive
They can make you real mean!

Carol Eastman September 17, 2014 at 12:26 PM Dragon wasn't in the Church's Easter pagent last year! Envy! Jealous! And Oh, So Hurt! But the Church wasn't rebuilt after the bell tower iincident! Now he wants to be the Sun and Planets for Halloween and the Easter Bunny and Eggs in the Easter Pagent! I don't know how the tell him the Easter Pagent isn't about the Easter Bunny. SOOO I got them to be the Easter Bunny and Giant Eggs at the Easter Egg Hunt. They're talking about an Easter Bunny Ballet to do, too. Aren't they clever! And Fun!
