Poem -
THE CAKE
THE CAKE
STOOD IN ICED PERFECTION
ON THE COUNTER
IT MADE HIM FEEL AS SICK
AS THE INTENT
WITH WHICH IT WAS BAKED
THE MESSAGE PROCLAIMED
........happy birthday.........
....to the love of my life.....
....to my darling husband..
....from your loving wife....
HE EYED THE CARD
WITH UTTER CONTEMPT
THAT DECEITFUL NOTE
GLOAT. GLOAT. GLOAT.
HE CRUSHED THE PILLS
INTO A PERFECTLY BAKED SLICE
ATE WITH RELISH
THE PERFECT
THANKYOU
TO THE PERFECT WIFE.

Thankyou Angel?
Holy Cow MARIION!!......what a piercing and insightful look into poetic realism.......VERY powerful in all aspects of the author's intent......I LOVE the way you formatted this and used capital letters to help drive home the dagger of its near-sinister tonality!!.......ALL STARS!!...... great work dear poet sister!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo. : )
I felt really guilty for having posted this once I had read your beautiful birthday tribute to Cherie Tony, because it has such a dark theme and is the flip side of love it seemed inappropriate somehow, especially since I titled it 'Happy birthday'! ?? I hope the great love you share shines in the light forever, blessings my friend, thankyou ?
