“Six Words from the Target Number”

The dreaded weed

It grows

My mind’s seed

It shows

It’s evils deed

It blows

Wind it needs

It knows

Festering beneath

It goes

Wearing a wreath

Betrothed

Searching a sheath

In throes

Anguish a heath

Unbeknown

Lurking underneath

Forever grown

Can’t bequeath

Its home

What’s beneath

Ignomed

Higher and Higher

It grows

Fighting desire

She knows

Continual admire

Once known

Learn to inspire

Alone

Strength in the mire

Beknown

Lighting a fire

Flames throw

Flickering shire

Big gown

People conspire

Be gone

Shock from the liar

Sun’s shone

Beneath the pyria

Lies shame
