“a thing or person greatly detested”

Feel the scorn,
Of the others he passes
In his walk,
Soul so dark,
Blotted out like sun glasses,
He won’t wait
For their hate
To build to an active rage,
Keeps going,
Still knowing,
Never will they turn the page,
All is torn,
They would wish him never born.

The quiet anger is not unsettling, but just, and exact. Well done, Sir...

Thank you dear Lady in White,
Just a word I picked to write a poem about,
perhaps tomorrow I'll find a B word,
any suggestions?
Glad you liked my words

That was a truly detestable person, but well defined as only you can do! Now, to "b", well there is bifurcate?

HaHa..Mysteria wants you to try being 'divisive'? I think alphabet soup poetry is good food for the brain.

Thank you, Mysteria,
I’ll accept your word,
Poem to be placed on top,
Glad you liked my attempt.

Thank you, Midnitesun,
My poem from her word might not travel as she wishes,
But any stimulation of the brain
Is better than none, even in two parts.

Thank you, Masked Intruder,
Perhaps when I go back a second time,
I’ll use your word,
I am honored by your offer,
I’ll write in down on a torn out page.
