The poetry and writings of Les Gillespie

Les Gillespie is the ghost character of my new novel. In a lost diary, his family have found some clues to his surly and destructive make up.

This is one of those clues:

 GREED


At the throne of Mammon
I kneeled to pray
And to the clutch of Satan
I gave my soul away

  1. This is very good, Terry. My only suggestions would be to do away with the commas. On first read I was tempted to suggest changing kneeled to knelt, but I think the old English form is better suited - which is probably why you used it :-)

  2. Thanks Merlene,

    Commas are now deleted and it is much better thank you.
