Her Immortal Sweetness
Her words were rootless,
they were buttercups churning in a cyclic wind;
sweet if you like sweet, but never deep enough
nor strong enough to be hurtful or loving,
Her poems came with the bland smile
of a sociopath.
Naturally folks considered her an angel,
one sent to us by ever-loving poetry gods.
Dead now for many years
she is read avidly by latter day acolytes;
the tepid tapioca of her words
turning many a fan doe-eyed and limp
as if they had just been shot
by an arrow straight from cupids ass.
