Hubris

...for Sylvia Plath White wisps in killing glow dissolve. Whiteness won't redeem her; arctic and stark, bright yet lifeless. Barren, a spectre without purpose, she teeters in darkness, alone in her lordliness.

A beautiful tribute to a very sad, disturbed writer, Keith. Plath's "Bell Jar" is a frightening work that displays her inner torment. I think you captured her spirit in your poem! Love, Carolyn
