The garden of glory

In a word, Paradise

Left to rot

Like and unweeded garden

Grows to seed

Things rank and gross

Unrighteous tears watering the earth

Killing off all good

The beast's appetite grows

Murder has been committed

And Eden's glory

Grows flat

Author's Note: Please forgive the horribleness of this poem. I had to write it in about 2 minutes in English class. We are studying Hamlet and my teacher is having us do a thing called recreation where she reads a passage and we listen, then she reads it again and has us write down words or phrases we like. Then she has us write a paragraph or poem or whatever from our minds using whatever we wish to from the bits we wrote down. This poem is most definitely going to be rewritten and added to because there was so much I wanted to write or say. However, when you only have 2 minutes you do what you can. I hope you like it. please review and let me know what you think and I will return the favor. I'll leave it up and post the new poem as a second chapter. Also, if you have read Hamlet, see if you can pick out the lines that I was inspired by.
