Notes About The Poem

Venom

vacillating desires 
vicissitude of thought
vintage but valueless 
venting ego urges
vice vibes that vilify
vitiating our soul
volte-face yet we remain

Even the words you used to describe venom sound venomous. Well done! Congrats on your win, Unseeking Seeking! Blessings, Kim M
