The Blood of Nessus

...i am the blood of nessus...

    [[insolent in Hera's name;
      The very veins of coveting]]

...i am the blood of nessus...

    [[Once adorned in dress and golden coronet
      I deadened darling Creusa]]

...i am the blood of nessus...

    [[They knew of me in ancient times
      and here I persist today]]

...i am the blood of nessus...

    [[I am the death of thousands
      sickly sweet and savage]]

...i am the blood of nessus...

                                                                            {{I AM the blood of Nessus}}

Author notes

I made lots of allusions. It's a toss up between jealousy and poison for what this poem is about superficially. I think it's about both, unintentionally. But on a deeper level, I was talking about me and how I feel about it. I think that I can be a poison. I'm not 100% sure exactly how I feel about it, but when I wrote this, I tried to portray being a bit proud of it.

Constructive Criticism is Much Appreciated.

    I like this one, too. It's a bit rough and I noticed one spelling error on line 8. Anciet should be ancient. Other than that, it was well written.
