Impale the Sparkle

Rated "G" by the Author.

Never let them keep you down. Triumph in their faces.



Impale the Sparkle


Jealous curmudgeons and evil skirts
Pepper my path.
Cloaked greed lays waiting
For my unsuspecting footstep.

Loving wives and even little sweetie-pies
Evolve into blood-surping vultures.
Money magnetizes their pockets
As blood summons piranha.

Grope, grasp, delve, and lunge
Into the silver linings;
They’re always lazily perched,
Waiting for an eagle to swoop them up.

We love to spend money , we women. Makes our lives worthwhile. Don't be mean and give some extra to her today to buy a surprise.

Deep poem with great meaning. One editorial suggestion if you don't mind. I'm just trying to be helpful. Piranha = parana

Thanks for sharing your work with us.

This is a biggest-longest LITTLE poem... It ignites the
engine of imagination, and prods the motor of the brain.
"Impale the Sparkle" is rich in contents and imagery.

I thank You, Poet for enriching the masters pages
of the history of Poetry, and for sharing Your art
in full compliance with the poetic rules.

I have enriched my brain΄s bank reading this poetic excellence
named, "Impale the Sparkle".
