Misogyny ~ for Sylvia Plath

Misogyny ~ for Sylvia Plath

Misogyny ~ for Sylvia Plath

There's a cold dark place 
Sylvia Plath has been inside 
A kind of sacrificial lamb
An experiment of sorts 
Misogyny for the masses
A Hitler for wives 
Dust that, rub this, 
Lunch is cold, you shall pay! 
Only one way out
Put the lunch in the gas oven
Warm it up real nice and slow
Then turn it up
"Is that better,  Heil Hughes"

Misogyny

Footnote 

There is speculation whether Ted Hughes drove his former wife Sylvia Plath to suicide

Great write! Sylvia Plath is one of my favorite poets...I have a collection of her poetry.  I think that the speculations may be right regarding her husband's infidelity.  The she wasn't the only one, the woman he was having an affair with Assia also committed suicide and took their daughter with her!  However, I think that Sylvia had other issues deep, dark issues.  val

One of my favorite poems is entitled MEDUSA...which really freaked me out the first time I read it... the poem is about her mother actually whom I think she hated and despised.  Her mother was a powerful and detrimental person in her childhood.  val

it's on You tube read by Sylvia, 

OMG did this poet invent the 

'adjective' or what, and the anger

one could melt inside it! 

Ah Medusa is a fine choice Valerie,

excellent!!

Thank you Susan. It's true. Unfortunately men like Ted who is a famous poet who 

I can't bear to read. He tortured poor Sylvia and then pretended.

The rest is history. Glad you read this poem.

An abused woman should not die without 

the truth unveiled. 

Kind regards
