The Devil’s Crown
Rant and rage and angry frown
‘Tis the work of the devil’s crown
Placed upon your spirit well
It casts a deep dark ominous spell
Its gems faceted with delusion and despair
Sparkle with malevolent and deceptive care
The devil’s crown a foreboded reign
Its power dispelled in calling God’s name.
Rose Marie Raccioppi
In Greek mythology, Medusa (Greek: Μέδουσα (Médousa), "guardian, protectress"[1]) was a gorgon, a chthonic female monster; gazing upon her would turn onlookers to stone.
Medusa, Marble, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1598-1680, c. 1650, Palazzo dei Conservatori, Rome

Brilliant verses! Forunately for me, my ego is not big enough to sport such a heavy crown. Heh.
Your "confessions" thus far imply a more temperate tone - not quite the intensity of Medusa...
I so appreciate your following... thanks much...
