Condemned??

A dark black halo seemed
to settle on his head.
Evil personified,
she pontificated.

He was destined to be
avoided like the snake.
Even from a distance,
she said, he brought bad luck.

This was her last attempt
at badmouthing the man,
she professed to love but,
who had not responded?

She seemed bent on proving
that having been scorned she'd
show him a thing or two
that even hell couldn't....

Aye, she had it in for him. But she's a match or worse for all that...sesame. Nothing like the Devil's sidekick in a dress and venting. So much for her supposed "love." Doubtless he did not deserve it, but the vaunted is hereby too cheap to be true. Excellent tribute to the hellish danger of daring to scorn a woman. Wonderful with apt imagery.

a very mature and fair-minded exploration of an aspect of love, scorend love in this instance, Sandra

A compelling read and only God knows what happened when she showed him a thing or two. You set the evil mood so well too!

Ha ha... I've always had the sneaking suspicion that the women who are attracted to "bad boys" were just eager for the chance to give 'em a liberal taste of their own medicine : D

I love the last unfinished line Sandra - this verse speaks of a woman scorned in such good detail and how true the phrase"evil personified" can be at such times with some. An engaging read.

That wasn't love then...just someone selfish and vindictive. You love someone....you love them in parting too; if it is really love.
