Frederic Parker Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

The Garden

You spoiled my coat
with your vile contempt
and relished your dung lit fires
upon my shoulders
I offered pristine views
you gave a careless void
disturbing me with your disgust
turning my green coat
a vacant brown, filled with death
you stole from my womb
for your own pleasure
leaving empty husks of anguish
turning light into a dark
that burns upon my skin
where death lays in comfort

painting of The Garden of Earthly Delights
by Hieronymus Bosch 1515
a moral warning of paradise lost
that leads to hell
