None


the year of the locust

where does it lie

'neath seven years of dust

mismanaged by it's imfamy

there's no air of mystery

within it's fine cocoon

only willful savagery waits

in darkest heat to bloom

ravenously devouring as a crystalis appears

it's appetite is rising

it hopes to find you near

the year of the locust all appetite and lust

Very nice, nan, perfect poetry as usual. It reminds me of the verse from King Solomon: "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes."

and it was as corrupt as the locust in this poem Quill

loved the poem Nan. Have you ever submitted any of your POETRY FOUNDATION? They are a paying market. If they accept your poem, which usually you get the status after about six weeks, they will pay.
