Paths 2 Plath


The paths to Plath
are filled with sharp curves
that veer past jagged images
& broken glass
smashing stereotypes
& genteel rap

The paths to Plath
are not easy to surpass
winding across brambled lands
dashing conventional demands

The paths to Plath
prompt us to consider
poetry might be worth it
no matter how hard
colossi crush us

Yes!
Write to right insanity!
Smirk at foolishness
as it rises

Be heroic &
sham the warts on the unseen parts
of each be
hind
Juanita: (shaking her head) Argh! Men can never really understand Sylvia Plath. They lack the proper clitoral interface to appreciate her exquisite words . . .
Ella: Agree. This writer would be much better off writing about Hemingway or Ginsberg . . .
