You didn’t stand a chance I fear,
a will that was once was free
To think of what’s become of you
that now belongs to me
The barren rock sustained my gourd,
was filled with honest dew
You found me lacking sustenance, but
I was not expecting, you
Surprise in light , my rallied tail
Posed the fatal blow
I warned you,
Scorned you,
tried to turn you
Readied venom with malice learned
But you showed me something I
Didn’t know
Now you walk amid my desert and
tis only love that spills, from veins that
thumped with honest blood so
Who’s to say that
poison only kills
.

Wow, Minx, a bit speechless here. Powerful words.
"Honest dew"
was it mountain dew? if there is a scorpion who stings with dew instead of poison, woow....that would be lovely!!
strange poem somehow can not put my finger on the reason..:P

The poem seemed apt, sort of. I have been surrounded by real poison all day. Why do some people feel the need to hurt others?
Hi Minx
I have just found your blog via the blog for published bloggers.
I love your poetry particularly the Royal Drawers.
Will call again.

I love 'amid my desert' Scorpions are brilliant creatures for the imagination!
Who has been trying to poison you,oh minxious one? We shall set about them with cudgels!
this seems like one of those poems that flowed out and by the time you wrote the last letter it was finished!
very beautifull!
Poetry Thursday, I presume.
Love the graphics. Does anyone else realize it's a human body?
Great poem, by the way. I loved how it ended.
Did I tell you I heard from someone at my former workplace? The Wicked Witch of the West has been given a promotion and a raise and asked that she not enter the office place ..again...ever...but to work from home..
Now how do I get a job where I misbehave badly and get a promotion and a raise and get to work from home? I ask you???
Hi Poetess, cup of tea?
Minxious, Jon? I am liking that.
Meike, whoo hoo - you're on Deviant ART....

Oh Roberta, I am a failure at Poetry Thursday - they are going to sack me!
There are a lot of people in management who are pushed up to get them out of the way - I know these things!
