His Other's Ears (A Three Word Wednesday Poem) #3WW

It has been far too long since I participated in Three Word Wednesday. I am delighted to add my short poem to the list today.

Which three words make up our prompt today?

Angelic; adjective: Of or relating to angels.

Foster; verb: Encourage or promote the development of (something, typically something regarded as good); bring up

Ruin; noun: the physical destruction or disintegration of something or the state of disintegrating or being destroyed;

My Poem: His Other's Ears

His environment fostered ruin, cultivated despair

His weakness constantly pitted against his other’s strength

Figurehead unlistening unencouraging thwarting

Ideas, tangling vision with belittled opinions

Even the most angelic sprouts from there

Would grow sour and bloated with ugly

Her ecru paraphrasing confused him,

Accustomed to the charcoal smears

Binding his ears closed
