Also, Carol Ann Duffy has written some pretty great stuff.
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.
Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.
I am trying to be truthful.

@BlueJeans: I really did read other works, but I just felt so underwhelmed by them. They were very much not my thing. But well done on her etc etc.

Who made all the gentlemen huffy
When laureate named
She proudly proclaimed
"Even though I have a muff, wheee!"

There once was poet named Duffy
Like Wordsworth, but somewhat less fluffy
She wrote lots of poems
And beat out les hommes
I bet you ted hughes would be huffy!

What a fancypants way of calling someone an idiot. I think I need to memorize this line and trot it out at parties when someone says something really stupid and offensive.

I read this post and
The agony in my heart
Knows no bounds.
The agony is like
the endless abyss of space
almost like the abyss
that is Sarah Palins brain.
Oh the agony!
Where is my Purple Heart? I think my "poem" qualifies me for some award, why not a Purple Heart. Yes, I know there is no association between a poem and a Purple Heart but neither is there one for Sarah Palin and Poet Laureate. *headdesk*

1) education
2) reading
3) a way with the English language that does not make people want to cry.
So this idea, and all the people involved, are one big epic fail.
Also, stupid does not=innocent. Just saying.

When I think unhinged, I think Sarah Palin.
