John Hamilton Poet Quatrain

Virgin Soil

Virgin soil


Seeds of animosity   are planted

In virgin soil of the innocent mind

Seedlings should not be taken for granted

inseminating hate's a complex crime.




For Greg Barden's contest
Arbitrium divisa- 2



Taken from my sonnet
Colour of my heart-2.
