Jealousy Poems
The Moor Maid's Jealousy
by Josias Homely
(A Ballad.)
When the lark is at rest, in her grass-woven nest,
And the lapwing at even is seeking her home ;
When the last light of day is just dying away,
And the ring-plover's sleeping among the green broom,
And the plover sleeps in the green broom.
When silence prevails o'er the hills and the dales.
And day with its noise and its labour is o'er.
O then comes a sound, which makes my heart bound.

Fake Friends
by Siti Nur Shahirah Azmer
At the moment,
to have true friendship,
to care and share thoughts,
holding the hand like a family,
and those bombastic eyes,
from fake friends in my life,
only brings the dark jealousy.
The Last.
by Alexandra Davis
Mate at the back of the class, hoping this feeling won’t last
Just for once
To be like them. With their Swan necks
Long legs
Never out of breath
Warm smiles. Dead behind the eyes
A litany of sins
All ready to repent

Desert Flower
by Joe Cyr
“The song of songs, which is Solomon's. . . .” Song of Solomon, O.T.
Hark! Hear the song of Solomon - remain here awhile.
I am dark but comely, made more so by my smile.
Glance not upon me because I am black of skin;
the sun looked hard upon my people and my kin.
Keepers of their vineyards they forced my roots to be;
time not for vineyards of their own while in slavery.
Tell me, you whom my soul so loves, am I your love as well?
Is my joy yours; are you struck by the dart from which I fell?

envy
by gabriella BlakeWhat will it take for me to have what you have. How did you get so lucky. I want what you have. I’d kill for that. For someone that loves me. For someone who holds me. For someone who knows me. Every inch. For someone to laugh with and someone to call mine. For something safe and for something real.

The Uncanny Fact

The more you envy,
The better will I become,
It sounds strange although.

Open Office Eavesdropper
by Frangipani Rhett
Listen out across the room
To others' conversations
They seem to flow so sweet and free
Nothing like my emotions
Jealous of the way they speak
With confidence and humor
As though they know their priorities
Of which mine, I'm never sure
