Envy

A friend of mine said me a day
that he felt healthy envy
of my verses which grace
love with poetry.

Envy is not a worth,
it is a wrong of the man
a deformed feeling
which corrupts friendship.

I rather give love
a lot of happiness and goodness.
In my heart, there will no place
for envy

One who feel envy suffers
the prejudices from the guilty one
who never listened to his/her mother
the tips of the childhood.

Finally, I give a tip
my friends and siblings,
It's better dying laughing than crying
for that that you have not achieved.

  1. A friend of mine said TO me ONE day
    that he felt healthy envy
    of my verses which grace
    love with poetry.

    Envy is not a VIRTUE,
    it is a wrong of [] man
    a DISORDERED(1) feeling
    which corrupts friendship.

    I WOULD rather(2) give love
    a lot of happiness and goodness.
    In my heart, there will BE no place
    for envy

    One who feelS envy suffers
    the prejudices OF the guilty one
    who never listened to his/her mother
    the COUNSELS(3) of [] childhood.

    Finally, I give a tip(4)
    TO my friends and siblings,
    It's better TO DIE laughing than crying
    for WHAT you have not achieved.


    (1) "deformed" is usually limited to physical things
    (2) "would" usually accompanies "rather"
    (3) "tips" involve less serious matter, like horse races...
    (4) ...but it sounds OK here. An option would be "some advice".

  2. I have understood your "tips" (I hope that it's right). Thanks Matt
