Wicked

buried here beneath
       
          this veritable verdant sod
           
                                    lies another one

Your lines expectedly weigh in tonnes and your consistency has made you a master of masters in this act. This is beyond compliments. Good work mate. An absolute beauty.

The past supposed to be buried... Some people too. Love the layering like a burial. Intense work!

I'd say the wicked one is burying some bodies. Time to find the location! Mysterious and thought provoking Harry :)

This could be a funny one or not. I think it depends on how we take it. I am wondering if it's a murder mystery! and I am hoping it's the wicked who was killed and not an innocent victim of the wicked! Hello, Harry. I enjoyed your comment today and am always happy to see you here.
