Looking down <br />what largely to descry <br />but an idolatrous eye - <br />image uninviting... <br />spreading shade... startling, <br />selfishness... saber-rattling, <br />greed... wolfish, all-swallowing <br />inner sense - dense, wallowing... <br /> <br />Image frightening... <br />tongue in cheek, <br />palm-greasing... <br />betrayals petrifying! ! ! <br />Warm blanket missing... <br /> <br />Hearing sounds... unappealing, <br />noise of dark creatures <br />voice misbelieving, heathenish <br />sobs chilling... <br />goblet with tears filling... <br /> <br />Looking down <br />what mainly to detect <br />but misdeed variform of a worm <br />scene of ill-omened effect <br />shockable wailing <br />provident posture failing... <br /> <br />Not bowing down... <br />unregretful! <br />forgetful <br />of grace and favor! <br />unending joy, <br />the incurable prodigal child <br />will not savor...<br /><br />Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D.
