Really Awfully Evil

Devilishly cautious.

A Pooky’s Poems prompt from somewhere back in history before I had my hands full with doing battle with various demons and things was to  ‘… write a poem which has a one word title and that word is repeated at least twice …’  Well, the first word to pop into my mind was the one below, and following that came the first phrase.  After that, the rest developed in odd breaks between keeping really busy on edits and you-name-it, and stuffing mouth and ears with antibiotics at intervals.

EVIL

 ‘Evil is as evil does’,
So ‘tis said;
What about an evil buzz
In one’s head?
Even if the action’s not
Carried through,
Still, in those who plot,  you’ve got
Someone who
Must be evil, every bit,
In the mind,
As ones who, to action it,
Are inclined;
They’re in no way better than
Those who dared –
Ones who have an evil plan,
But are scared –
Undetected evil comes
With those who
Are not only evil, but
Cowards, too.
