Heaven Sent

I once thought you had been heaven sent, 
but now you bring all this mad ferment.  
Your crazy emotions 
and endless commotions 
tell me we were never heaven meant.

YEs, time to let that one "fly back to heaven." Hey, don't take my tyburn personally. That's admitting you are a sod. hahaha. Anyway, my hubbie snores and I haven't done anything bad yet!!!(so the poem is just fiction!)

Oops! I woke in the middle of the night to realize I wrote 'Mary Cope' in my note when it's 'Wendy Cope.' Horrors; and you an English teacher.

My comment was tongue-in-cheek. Please, don't take me too seriously. I see a humorous world. I can't write deep emotional poems; I've tried. Ogden Nash, Mary Cope: my poetry gods. But if you were my teacher, I'd bring you a big apple.

Yes, it is a veritable litany of shattered loves; it reads rather like some country western songs sound. I do enjoy yours, though.
