“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!—
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—
On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore—
Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
Task:
Contribute an original Poem in 75 words or more titled “Thing of Evil.”
Alternatively you may Confess a time you did something you feel was nasty, cruel, or wicked with the same word count expectations. Keeping it HOL/family friendly as always, this can be a relatively minor act, or something that had a big impact on those around you. When might you have looked back and found your own behavior to have toed the line between good and evil? Perhaps even crossed it! Do you wish you had handled it differently, or would you change your actions in the future?
