VANITY
Poems By Dark Romance Author Wynter Adams
A dangerous drug to those who abuse it
An unknown addiction in all those naïve
The need to satisfy what should be content
Soon turns to greed, and a delusion well-spent
The price for vanity is but never ending
Even in reflections you don’t recognise
It poisons, perverts, and imprisons all nature
Until happiness is all we see with our eyes
How much is too much?
How little is too little?
Vanity expires to those who are fickle
The shattered image of a girl who is teased
A broken spirit, and dark haunted dreams
She takes everything that God ever gave her
In a tragic desperation
To amend what never was
An unfortunate weakness
She will soon come to regret
In a deadly price paid….for beauty never lost.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
