Kim Rodrigues Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Flying Hearse

I sent my verse into a flying hearse,
waved goodbye, with scented roses; forgot
her entirely; there was no doc or nurse
that could resurrect; she died a mugshot.

She was vile, beyond approach, not worthy.
Her cruel nuances and fingernail drag
across chalkboard, appalling; her gurney
rolled into the dusk; wearing a toe tag.

Hearse accompanied by buzzards, fat ones.
Hissing-lightning tires screeched on bleakest clouds.
Procession of words, joyful sunshine shuns.
Shovelfuls of primordial ooze, shrouds.

I sent my verse into a flying hearse,
waved goodbye, with scented roses; forgot

                            §  her entirely  §

Lin Lane May 28, 2026 at 8:17 AM Sounds like good riddance would have been mentioned in a Eulogy, if anyone bothered giving one. There's a couple of names I could write on that toe tag. Kim Rodrigues May 28, 2026 at 1:45 PM LOL!
