A Poison Tree by William Blake - Poetry Reading

A Poison Tree | William Blake
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears,
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,
And my foe beheld it shine,
and he knew that it was mine,
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Maybe the "enemy" is chilling, peacefully under the tree? That's why I like this poem. I can't tell if he's dead or waiting happily for the poet.

People keep telling me to die like it’s an invitation. They’re not even trying to pretend I will live as in the garden of Eden. I believe in standing on the shoulders of giants and heeding the wisdom of the ages, the ancients, and the Ancient of Days… I’m not interested in your poison tree 🕊❤️✝️
