Chelsea P. Stone Poet Sonnet

Wicked Children

Forbidden love tastes the apple so sweet, 
since devil’s issue must be born in sin, 
they bring God’s punishment with their deceit 
and lovers flesh they dare savor as kin. 
Fool’s temptation is too hard to resist; 
the flower’s beauty attracts every bee. 
Impure innocents should never exist. 
Devil’s seed! Lock the attic, turn the key. 
Can pure love purify their wicked touch? 
They must suffer for paramours’ mistakes. 
Why cannot they kiss what they love so much? 
Doomed and damned to feel their broken hearts ache. 
Grown in the shadows, locked from heaven’s gates,  
are children born to live a sinful fate.

By: Chelsea P. Stone
Based upon V.C. Andrews' novel Flowers in the Attic.

Chris Green February 17, 2017 at 3:30 PM Chelsea, this was amazing, it was dark, it was creative and it was so cool. I have not read the book, (I don't read books that much) but I don't think I needed to in order to enjoy this. The rhymes are smooth and spot on and the cadence is hauntingly melodic. Nicely done. Chelsea P. Stone February 18, 2017 at 11:03 PM Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. If you are ever in the mood for a crazy, melodramatic book I'd recommend it.
