Envy. (Tanka)

She begrudged the cat,

who had nothing but nine lives—

thus, she chopped her soul

into facades of many;

her death, by a thousand cuts.

Pride. (Haiku)

Buoyant balloons blown,

bask in their fullness of air,

’til they burst to bits.

Cheemnonso™

The golems of ire,

spits fire into men’s faint hearts,

coursing madness through.

Cheemnonso™

Desire of the flesh,

raises tombs where Pharaohs lay,

sowing seeds of fey.

Cheemnonso™

The earthy goddess,

enslaves men to her vile vines,

insatiating all.
