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 |

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. |

The Soul of Ana , Wow! Adagio, I will remember this name every time I run in to a person, man or woman, like her. I know there are a few. Thanks. You did good! martyjo |

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! Lovin' spoonfuls of sugar, EA |

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. |
