Tarnishing Woe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wrapped in woe
Here is a gash to sow
Pierced by bow

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Struck in woe
Here is a boat to row
Sunk by blow

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scorched in woe
Here's a soul to mend
Seared by woe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slashed by woe
Here is a wound to sow
Bruised by woe...
