The Elect Lady

The Elect Lady ~“Tis torture, and not mercy. Heaven in earth hath become hell as woman scorn. The poison of asps drips forth of her tongue…her honeycomb hath dried… Life sourest as wine gone foul of sweet fermenting. Amiss of love, a strong delusion of her was chosen, ere her love of truth. Loose the yoke, chaotic, psychosis, Pharaoh let her people go.”~ For and in Honor of Wandering Butterfly And Contest: Romeo and Juliet; How tragic is Love

Dear John, this is quite an eloquent poem! I think Romeo and Juliet had "true love," but their families destroyed it with hate. Very sad but a beautifully written entry for the contest. Wishing you success, my friend! Love, Carolyn
