Battle

                    jealousy
                                is
                            red

                                           

                                              a burning flame inside my heart
                                              red tongues licking at my cheeks
                                              and a descision

    they were there in the barn
        I heard them
          I saw them
    my older sister
  and that boy

              I saw things
                    I wasn't supposed to
                          and I didn't understand
                          or maybe I did



    so, I killed him
  slew him with words
  false accusations
      told from innocent eyes
  that hid dark secrets

                                   
       
                and now she waits
      for his return
                                            and clutches the letters he sends her

    I don't know if you saw the rule before I made it, but could you please put an explaination to this poem in your author's notes? I'd rather not DQ you.

    They say it's green but I agree with you that it is read. (red, Freudian slip there, I guess ) Strange to read this this morning as I was just thinking about wanting to run a contest on jealousy.
