Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

Paragraph From the Past

Sickness is the devil himself divining his ill will.
It seems his only interest is to see what he can kill.
The evil deep inside us all, he uses as a tool.
And sneaks around just like a snake awaiting his next fool.

One paragraph unto itself.
Now on display on Poetry Soup's shelf.

Andrea Dietrich April 25, 2013 at 6:25 PM hey, Robert, a question for you. Sometimes you write such awesome rhyme as you are inspired by the poems of fellow poets at Soup. I am curious. Why don't you draw from that inspiration and do longer poems based on what you began writing in the comments to us? I just loved your funny food rhymes. Why don't you post a poem on it?

Harry Horsman April 25, 2013 at 10:52 AM very visual, and yes profound too, the impact is amazing..

Debbie Duncan April 24, 2013 at 11:10 PM nice and to the point ;}
