Green-eyed Monster by Barbara Goodhew

I always thought jealousy was flattering.
Took it as a compliment.
But when someone is jealous they act and say things that are rude.
I dislike people that are crude, mean and mallicious.
That's why they call it the Green Eyed Monster.
People that are envious and jealous are
MONSTERS

Free Verse
Perhaps Nathalia hasn't heard of Free Verse, which is not supposed to rhyme. These days you can write which way you want -- rhyming or unrhymed poetry.

On to your poem Barb. I think when jealousy gets out of hand it becomes evil -- and yes, they are monsters then.
