Each word you have used to describe jealousy is perfect.
WANT
covet
blind desire

envy erodes and
corrodes cardinal needs
by seizing and choking truth

"wanton while remaining empty"

and the last line sums up the result of this feeling. Great work. Good luck in the competition.

This might be short
on words but they
say it all, cleverly
presented as a Clarity
poem.

Good luck with the contest, my friend.

This is a powerful poem. Seems too much to say in so few words. But you managed it brilliantly. "Wanton while remaining empty." Where do you get such wisdom? How old are you, 90? You did quie a job on this.

Maybe jealously but I feel hurt here and the right one will turn up one day. I feel their are many that want to be loved and they will love in return. The world is a wanting place at the moment. The rich will hang onto their money I guess and the poor will still be poor.

We live in a very ungiving world and we must change to help others.

Yeah, there's a good reason "do not covet" is one of the Ten Commandments!

This is a very well written poem, deserving of that ribbon! Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the contest!

This is a nicely written poem that describes jealously without actually using the word.
"envy erodes and corrodes cardinal needs by seizing and choking truth" That seems to sum it up well.

You have very poetically described jealousy. It just feeds on itself until it becomes a monster in a mortal soul. Excellent imagery with very few words! Best of luck in the contest. Blessings to you, Linda

WANT
covet
blind desire

Those say it all. A very well written piece, giving a touch of jealous feel. The picture doesn't do it for me, but the poem is very good.

This is nicely done. The subject of jealousy was well elucidated in the short poem. It appears you are using jealousy and envy interchangeably. I don't really know whether it should be so. Well done
