Has anyone ever
written a poem about you?
Was asked today by a
Facebook friend.
No.
I may pay all the
bills and clean the house
But it wasn’t worth a
line or two to them
Laugh.
Poems are written for
dreamlike girls
Not for short and
clunky German broads
Sigh.
All your inspiring
memes are full of crap
Because what matters
is a woman’s looks
Fact.
No one has written an
ode to Maya Angelou
No matter how strong,
pure and proud she is
Word.
The men to whom I
have dedicated poems
Proudly never
acknowledge or comment
Sure.
This is unequivocally
proving to me….
Something…that I never
figured out.
But
A woman can’t be
Pablo Neruda or Picasso
Collette was pitied
for buying her young men
Girls
Are expected to be
for sale to rich old men
Especially among the
rich and famous
Love
I fear, only exists
between the legs
And has nothing to do
with the mind
Sometimes the ones one gets are so bad one wishes the poetaster hadn't. It is not only difficult to keep one's face from squinching, but too fulsome praise might not only gladden the heart of the one who sought to gladden that of another, but might also result in more such being foisted on the public eye. One ends up stammering non-committal replies like, "O my," and "Bless your heart" while frantically seeking a graceful exit.
