THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "The Pleasures of Hating" by Laure-Anne Bosselaar: hate, bliss, rapture, wig, lips, sandals, loathe, dents, draw, relapse, broccoli, delight
bliss rapture delight
crooning corny love songs
on the boat
no one could guess
their eventual break down into
hate loathing and ego dents
she stayed because
she had nowhere to go
it was not a relapse
into the pink twin set and pearls
mentality of the 50s
he was quick on the draw
a marksman of destruction
targeting
the only one who would listen
to his woeful accordion playing
and tolerate his bad wig
to him she was just
a pair of sexy lips in sandals
who knew everything
about the
health benefits of broccoli
I like the story line running through your poetry, the final stanza made me smile. .......strange how an attractive trait in someone early on can turn into loathing and hate.
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny. I suspected where you were going from the beginning and I was right. :)

This is sharp
Have a nice Sunday
much love...
"a pair of sexy lips in sandals".......that made me smile....oh, the romance of those's 50's movies. They left me ill-prepared for the real world.
