This poem is my postulation of what if Sylvia Plath and Edgar Allen Poe had met to commserate about their lives.
Misery’s Beauty, By Brian37
Imagine there are no poets
It’s easy if you try
No “Cuts” leaking gas
Give art such life
Imagine if you will
A bird of black
A life of strife
ABaltimore poet
Losing his wife
Imagine if no words
Printed on the page
Speaking of their strife
Conveying all of life
Medusa and Daddy
In blasphemous words
Convey the distain
Of the Raven’s rebellion
Against his own father
In their toils
And dark obstacles
Such lotus flowers
Bloom with grim colors
In want of love
In the face of rejection
The best art
Is misery’s companion
In a paradox
I postulate
If Plath and Poe
Met on a road
Would the tea
Be sweetened with venom
Would their love
Be works of vengeance
Would the givers
Of their loins
Be vanquished
By such a union?
In fantasy
I speculate
If such nuptials
Had been reality
A pair of the ages
To speculate
To make Oedipus blush
In such gouging fate
The redcoats run
To consumption’s call
Defending emotions
Befalling us all
"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and nonbelievers."Obama
