SUSPICION
A centipede, surreptitiously crawling
With a hundred legs, listlessly crawling….crawling
Until from a covert hide out, it suddenly stings
JEALOUSY
If you rail relentless
Seeing others thrive prosperous
It is jealousy, doubtless!
But we can`t often escape from these.... I have suspected people and things and have once or twice felt jealous of things silly indeed. Thank you Madam Valsa for sharing these triplets.
Beautiful Triplets. Everything a part of life. Loved reading the way it is presented.
Terrific and especially the precise language and accuracy of the second verse, brilliant economical language.
You have so nicely defined the meaning of suspcion and jealousy which are part of our life. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem.
Suspicion and jealousy are also parts of our life. We are helpless.
Just like the centipede stings so does jealousy. They both have a lot in common with each other. A sting will soon disappear if it is not poisoned. Jealousy will hurt and can eventually cripple the person to whom it is directed toward if they allow it. Looks can be deceiving Madam Valsa. Love this one.

I would like to translate this poem
saying so much, Valsa, in so few words! comments by Thomas is surely an icing on the cake.
