Envy is a terrible thing, like all other sins, but we all may find ourselves guilty. A craving to have what our neighbours have seems normal, but it can be disastrous. I liked your presentation here.

I can see why you are the winner of the dark emotions. To be envy of another person.
Here are 10 Bible verses on envy and jealousy. 1. Proverbs 14:30; "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." ... James 3:14-16; "But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't brag and deny the truth.

This is a very good poem depicting the perils of Envy. The last two lines are very fitting.

Never envy anyone for who they are
Don't be like Satan, a fallen star...
The picture is perfect.

This is a very well done entry for the Dark Emotions contest. It can be so easy to be jealous of others because of their possessions or status, and it can be very hard to resist the feeling, you have identified the emotions very well in your work. The picture you selected is perfect.

Envy the green-eye devil that has the hook and the rich, the beautiful, as well as the innocent are the bait. Good poem. This is a good entry for the Dark Emotion contest.
