JEALOUS
Jealous is my God, who wants me in submission, only giving our love and attention to his plan.
Jealous is my God, who told us of the punishment to us and our descendants.
Jealous is my God, that leads me through this life, with signs from above that light my path.
Jealous is my God,

Jealous of Dewberry
lavender is jealous
purple screams in agony
because they have both spotted
the diabolical, deliberately, delightful dewberry
now how will they sell their own color?
who would buy plain janes
when they could purchase something with an exotic name
I shall be called purple-icious, purple decided.
you may defer to me as queen purple-icious.
Lavendar could not stop laughing.
but when she did stop she

Jealous of a Gliding Raptor
saw a raptor glide down today
toward the tree line of my forest
I wondered at his purpose
was he hunting or merely loving life?
I marveled at his glide
wishing it had been my own

jealous of a tree
the moon sparkled with a magic the world had not seen
spring blossoms on trees were dazzling in her happy sheen
tiny purple violets on the ground felt dowdy in compare
a mystical sense of entitlement was in the evening air
grasses reassured the tiny flowers they were beautiful too
especially, they told them, when you open up with dew
lavender

Doggie gets Jealous
dog did not like Daddy in my recliner
He ran in, up Daddy’s arm, on his shoulders.
Doggie pushed Daddy from behind with his front paws
Daddy fell on the floor
I could not stop laughing

Jealous of a Morning Walk
jealous of
a morning walk
pleasantries
underneath
sun- rise and set
jealous of
painlessness
yet muscle
ache
oh i’d take
jealous of
going, going,
gone
out all day
pulling
my weight
jealous of
watching
so effortlessly
the jaunt
of travelers
jealous for
the blessings
given
for all these years
I’ll hope for fix
so others jealously will watch
me effortlessly with my slow gait
i’d settle for mostly pain free
i’d jump for joy but carefully

Fire is a Jealous Woman
Fire is a jealous woman I say
I watch her angry, mean dragon way
Started with ten boxes, three of them small
Enraged, she is now spiking eight feet tall
Towering inferno, an orange black beast
These flames are hungry, the boxes their feast
One small light, and she took off like a tracker
Mesmerized, sits my cat, Mr. C.T. Paddywhacker
Neighbor called.

Jealous Edith Becomes Dangerous
Edith was filled with blind invidiousness
Everything Norma did irritated her
Edith could not release her envy
Focusing her attention on Norma’s every step
Every word she said, everything she did annoyed Edith
She began scheming how to make her enemy disappear
Crazy jealousy had turned Edith into a potential killer
She spent day and night imagining Norma’s demise
When Norma arrived to

Be a mark that can't be traced
Don't be a pencil that gets erased,
Be a pen, a mark that can't be traced.
Don't be a helpless princess, frail and meek,
Be a witch, strong and sleek.
Stand tall, fierce and bold,
A force of nature, uncontrolled.
Leave a mark they can never erase,
A spirit they can't replace.
You are the sun,

jealous little devil
Sassy soothsayer’s sorcery vexed the man
He belittled it as only envy and jealousy can
The rest of the village recognized his usual hit tune
He is the kind of devil who hounds at a harvest moon

Jealous
A motivator's path, not always bright
Problems arose, with morning light
Doubts crept in, with every fall
But still they rose, to stand tall
With heart aflame, and spirit bold
They faced each test, young and old
Their message clear, through every strife
Inspiring hope, and a brighter life.

Jealous
When i was 5 i couldn't have sleepovers
I was so jealous of the older girls who could
When i was 6 I couldn't wear makeup
I was so jealous of the older girls who could
When i was 7 I couldn't have a phone
I was so jealous of the older girls who could
When i was 8

Jealous Minds
Right when we think we’ve reached
A new plateau
In our hearts and minds,
When we believe we’ve risen
To a secret degree of sweet sublime…
One step closer
To that ghost within,
Another Johnny - come - lately
