The soul of Ana


I took a stroll
through Ana's soul
it badly stained my feet

I was amazed
at how it hazed
with cold and ugly sleet

Hills of greed
choked every seed
so nothing good could grow

Piles of deceit
challenged my feet
from every pore it flowed

Rage was Queen
a crown of mean
manipulation ,showed

I took a stroll
through Ana's soul
so dark and stale and SOLD!

adagio

Just in case you were wondering "not her real name " and I don't think you know her but she is real.

Ralph~
Wonderfully and poetically descriptive~
I think I've known an Ana or two in my time of life~

Adagio...

was just telling a close poet
how much I appreciated and enjoyed
your pennings...

and the title

did not give any revelation
as to how the poem would be.

Bravo!

Enjoyed this quick, sharp poem…. The brisk stanzas match the bitingly cold descriptions.

adagio, stand up and take a bow! That was an outstanding piece of writing! That "Ana" certainly gets around! ~ in more ways than one! lol Everybody has met or known at least one of someone like her in their lifetime!

Rhythmically perfect and vividly descriptive!

Stay clear, m'dear!

Thank you all for reading and replying.

Did not really mean to sound so judgemental

but when I was in this woman's presence,

I got the ereiest vibe.(please pardon spelling)

Havn't seen her in at least nine years or so.

luckey for me!

Shivers .... sold to ...

By writing this powerful, very well written poem you surely liberated the echoes of the past ...

There are some such as these ... and they need love to find the way back into the light.

Love, Margherita

It's hard to love a trap-door

A trap-door? I clicked on images to see what it looked like and found that there is this spider .......brrrrr

You know Adagio, here in Italy they also say of a "poisonous" woman that she is like a "tarantola", which is a spider of the same family ....

Yes, I agree, it's not easy to love a trap-door!

... but they too are sensitive to the vibrations of beauty and love, I bet.

Love, Margherita

"challenged my feet"

I would find another word
for "challenged".

Good; surprised you could get away
with it.
