… It’s then that she realizes
and refuses to admit
that she is envious
of the taller ones.
… She hides in her perfect place
wearing the fitting mask
literally dressed
to kill.
… No need to wear high heels
From where she is
Can perfectly see.
… Mrs Tyrant
devotes herself to sensing
where the evil goes
so as to be there
in the interwar
… it’s then that she does not realize
and refuses to accept
that all the others,
taller than her,
can see her eyes gleam with contempt
despising that welfare in them
she could not prevent
… Mrs Malcontent
Her hair never messed up
By winds or fires
From whichever side
Or crossed wires
… She’ll never realize
Instead, she’ll refuse to admit
And keep on wearing the mask that fits
…. Meanwhile, the taller ones
Refuse to believe
Find it really hard to admit
And though we can see her tricks
We insist
No matter how much evidence
We have of all this
We keep wondering
What pleasure does she find
And still survive
In being so wicked
So stiff, so mean?

hush my mouth!!! love this!!! what a neat piece, dulce!!! very very imaginative and richly written!!! and the image, perfecto!!!
GIRL....Love it!
Yep! ...and I know who is "dressed-to-kill"--grin
Hummm?
Do you know Steveroni? Why?
I think you got it wrong then!
I don't think ever having told you about her!
it's no one you may know at all.
please do not get to wrong conclusions...
At least do not think that could be ME!- grin.
Anyway...I'd better say no more...
:)
what a tease in your comment...lol. at least they cant say she has no personality. smiles.
The picture is perfect that you chose to go with your poem. Love the imagery. :-)
ahhh... see what happens when one hides beneath rocks? they miss the most important Dulce poetess' of them all!
wow, superb!!!!
DD, with this serious game of words, in my mind you have exceeded any words you have written. Ever. Also it is my opinion your writings will one day be looked upon as bits of inspired philosophies. Dulcephies?--grin!
Heck, girl--you are GOOD! Reading your work is an experience from which no one should withhold themselves.
I have learned--from you--maybe not how to write or rhyme, but how to appreciate those who can and do. You are a blessing to this blog world in which we are all living a part of our lives.
Thank you. Love you.
PEACE
I looked intently at the picture and then read the words. I could relate both together. Is it only the 'she?' Researches state that 'he' also behaves the same way! LOL.
Joy always,
Susan
Wickedly good! This one flows beautifully, como el vino en España.
¡Que vivan tu poesías, primita! :)
you may have a particular person in mind, but your words speak to everyone.
lol...or maybe not, but they do to me.
well done!
smiles,
ooh, i know this woman and every time i see her from afar, i turn away and run as fast as i can! there's no place in my life for this kinda wickedness :)
dulce, this was a fabulous work, full of imagery that i've never seen you use before but you did it so well, as if you've had it hidden away for such a time as this!! bravo!
I agree with Steveroni about the play of words being superb yet I do not consider your "best poem" rather "one of the best". You have written MANY great stuff
Wicked good is right!
