Ah, this makes me think of Huckleberry Finn-- he went down the Mississippi on a wrath, as I recall... 😅

Oh, LUST is good, dear poets! Love the accent, Edward! So very dark and foreboding. You all shine wickedly in this one 🔥🖤🤍

Wrath is my favorite sin, love the fire in every piece, especially

Edward: “A quickening, two sons of Sodom sans halos switched like sacrilege on cutthroat script” & love the photo

H.R.: “You trollop, troll treacherous heathen” and that piss on your grave closing

Jozef: “go ahead and talk your shit but mark my words step to me and witness wrath for mercy was my nervous laugh”

Annie: “you gather dandelions and the stares of children sticking like needles on the arms of balconies”

Neth: “You’re going to die all alone, Your back will be full of knives. Knowing this, I smile so hard That it brings tears to my eyes.”

Thank you so much! So much fire, and Substack decided to poo its pants on that day. Such a shame cries

Nice to know that I'm not the only one to piss on things when pissed off lol.

(No, pissing on the welcome mat isn't a metaphor, I've done it for real.)

I'm looking forward to seeing what people wrote about Envy. I'm jealous of everyone who submitted something ;)

When we wrote these we were kinda mad bro. This series has been cathartic to say the least. Can't wait to get all jealous of the envy poems tomorrow and watch people love themselves in the mirror the day after.

Now we got our wrath out we can presume being all cutesy and frolicking in the fields.

I like that thought. After chucking a match into the gas can, the five of us run back to the fields and flowers for our regularly scheduled programs.

Brilliantly written wrath, my sinful compadres. Another amazing addition to the collection!

I know I'm not supposed to have favorites, but...this collection is something else.

Let's burn the world. 😈 🔥

This is the best one IMO.

And Substack’s tech issues killed it with flame, it’s so depressing.

It’s been awesome to be a part of, and if I may say so myself, I do agree is it otherworldly.

p.s. I’d love to burn the world with you!
