EVIL

I am Evil
I take away the Happiness
I steal from the rich
I ruin peoples lives
I do not love
I always hate
My enemy is Joy
My friend is darkness
I never die
I am black and dull

great hey!

Wow Beetroot, that has some power to it hey? "My enemy is joy" There's a lot more emotional whammy to that little poem, than a lot of stuff by more mature writers IMO.

Brill!

I particularly like 'My enemy is joy', F&Z.

MyEnemyisJoy · 21/02/2006 07:52

How about this name for the next time things get heated round here, then? I will save it for when I really want to scare the life out of someone

If he can do it with that subject he can do it with others too. Some people never have the imagination to write poetry, but this shows he does.

Well done little Beety!

MyEnemyisJoy · 21/02/2006 08:15

(that was a menacing grin, btw)

Ineverdie · 21/02/2006 09:00

Can't scare me, ner ner ner ner ner

Blimey sounds like something Plath would write. Scary stuff, but very good.
