I Carry Your Heart With Me

i keep your betrayal with me i keep your betrayal with me (i keep it in my soul)i am never without it (where i go it comes, my friend; and no matter what my soul is scarred, by your doing, my friend) i have no forgiveness (for you have shattered my spirit) i have no place for you in my world (for my world, is beautiful, so called friend, and it's better that we part, for this friendship was not to be) but your betrayal will forevermore stay to remind me in a secret place in my soul, only I know (that evil exists in this world though the sky is blue and pretty birds sing, and flowers and trees grow high, and people speak sweetness) so this scar will always exist in my soul and may my eyes never behold you ever again i keep your betrayal(i keep it in my soul) ______________________________ December 20, 2020 Poetry/Free Verse/Parody of- i carry your heart with me Copyright Protected, ID 12-1315-260-20 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the contest, PARODY OF A FAMOUS POEM sponsor, L MILTON HANKINS, Judged 01/08/21

Wow, I think I might know the poem you did the parody of and you picked a GREAT one to match with. You took the opposite feeling and really made us feel the emotion. Good job of this, Dear Heart.

_Constance, One minute looking at a sleeping cat all dolled up, next is this parody of E.E. Cumming's i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) "and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you". I feel this soul shredder, divested of the original, if only for awhile. It's always good to feel. Good luck in the contest, and may the season be a kind one to you.. -Richard
