Vanitys Sinning Ways Poem by Naomi Waters

Vanitys Sinning Ways



Somewhere there is a forest
In the forest there is a pond
A man comes to look at his reflection in the pond
Each day he looks at himself in the water
Then one day the man does not come
The trees still stand
The pond still shimmers
A humans vanity changed nothing
Fleeting beauty perceived as goodness
Time ravaged him body and soul
His punishment for sin
Corruption touching the edge of green

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote a poem a lot like this many years ago in 8th grade and I decided to take the poem I wrote and change some of it. For the most part it is almost identical to the one I wrote so long ago.
