​Anger, the seductress Lips as red as sin A swirl of flames fall to her shoulders In curls of scarlet ribbons Envy, with her scowls And eyes of darkest green Insecure in her olive skin Ever the angsty teen Fear, the wallflower Mousy and so pale Delicate hands atremble Half-hidden under her veil. Joy, her golden locks, Dripping into her eyes A daisy twirling in the meadow Full of sunshine and surprise. Melancholy, with her lovers Countless as the stars An enchantress leaving behind her A trail of broken hearts.

Fairest Maiden of Them All
​Anger, the seductress Lips as red as sin A swirl of flames fall to her shoulders In curls of scarlet ribbons Envy, with her scowls And eyes of darkest green Insecure in her olive skin Ever the angsty teen Fear, the wallflower Mousy and so pale Delicate hands atremble Half-hidden under her veil. Joy, her golden locks, Dripping into her eyes A daisy twirling in the meadow Full of sunshine and surprise. Melancholy, with her lovers Countless as the stars An enchantress leaving behind her A trail of broken hearts.
To quote Edgar Allan Poe: 'And so being young and dipped in folly I fell in love with melancholy.'
