As much as
He
Tried

Mother Nature
Defied

His
Many
Attempts

And
Ample time
Spent

Paint
Never could
Catch

Such
Beauty
Unmatched

Mother Nature’s
Art

Resides
In the heart

Sadje’s What Do You See #307

A furtive look
Always
On guard
The price paid for
A life lived
Hard

A furtive look
Always
On guard
Past convictions
His reputation
Marred

A furtive look
Always
On guard
Why was he
From society
Barred?

A furtive look
Always
On guard
From this malaise
He vowed to be
Jarred

One day a smile
Would find
His face

No longer
Trapped
In disgrace

She had arrived
With hope in her
Heart
From her true love
Never to
Part

His true intent
Never quite
Clear
Stealthily, cat-like
Approached from the
Rear

The deed done
He did hurriedly
Flee
Off to continue
His sordid crime
Spree

Marking the spot
A modest
Bunch
All he could muster
In a time
Crunch
