At last your message came: “I do not care.”
Not, “I don’t love you” – that at least I’d bear!
Indifference – is that your attitude?
How insulting, how downright bloody rude!
Who the hell are you to say that to me?
What am I – chopped liver? A tip from me:
You’ve picked the wrong girl Miss; my love’s forsworn,
I’ll cut each loving thought down as it’s born;
I swear, by Hell beneath and Heaven above,
I disown for good my pure heart of love.
I swear, by Heaven above and Hell below,
Another fire – hate – inside me will glow!
Where once I looked on you with loving eyes,
I now will learn completely to despise!
Where once I wore love’s fluffy pink clothing
I now wear the scarlet shades of loathing!
I swear by Hecate, by Kali’s name,
With whispers foul I will fan up this flame!
Come Harpies, and come Furies one and all,
Come stoke my fire – come at my wrathful call!
Come witches, come Voodoo Queens, my sisters –
See how my fell incandescence blisters!
Come and, naked, dance! – my cauldron bubbles –
Visit my erstwhile love with such troubles
As in storms the thunderbolts afright mares;
Plague her with a thousand thousand nightmares!
Shrink her breasts, damn and cross her lovely eyes,
Puff up with cellulite her lovely thighs!
Come my fairy sister the fell Banshee –
Wail outside her window at half-past-three!
Infest her, sisters all, with garlic breath!
Drive her demented! Scare her half to death!
“I do not care”? Stone me – that’s bloody rich!
You’ll rue the day you spurned me – I’m Miss Bitch!
“I do not care,” you say? Hah! That to you!
You’ll bloody care all right before I’m through!
(PS. Darling, if you happened to change your mind, though, please get in touch. Byeeee. Kisses. Marie)

Personally....I like chopped liver! With a nice bermuda onion! Which reminds me, I had better eat something.
-
-
You better had. This diet of poetry won't make you fat.

-
He..e..e...ey! And there I was thinking I was hexing my ex-girlfriend!
. Thanks for the visit.
-
A good humorous flow to this one with explicit anatomical directives being mentioned with elan and then the comic element amidst some serious thought is the perfect combo to the reader to appreciate and to inculcate..the genre and the style-id est Shubs

tee hee hee
I am trying to arrange for some friends of mine to read my poems aloud, and make mp3 files of them. I have a woman in mind for this particular one - she has a little acting experience - and I think she will be able to inject just the right amount of venom into it, and still change at the end. I had a lot of fun writing this. I show-cased it to some friends, and they were awfully worried that it might be serious!

OMG Don't you write the prettiest things when you're pissy!!
I adored the lines:
Shrink her breasts, damn and cross her lovely eyes,
Puff up with cellulite her lovely thighs!
And the disclaimer of your last line! Oh! Icing on the Cake. -
They say love and hate are separated by a thin line and this does that statement well. You can't turn love on and off like a switch, but you can move from love to hate very easy! The Shaker
-
cute.
-
I'll confess the cellulite was someone else's idea, but it fitted right in. Tee hee hee. Thank you, Melodies.
-
This poem hits us all where it hurts or laughs and is a fine round up of feelings, all! I love it! It has everything, even cellulite! This is an enchanting poem of the scariest kind!
-

I know...and it worked. I love this piece -

I think you should post CFMR...Oh and please...my favorite...Some Places are Simply Ours...
-
No, no - it was entirely in fun! There was no "she". Glad you liked it.
-
Great poem
why let it get under your skin, she obviously did, you are
hurting yourself. Now to the poem what a way with words
I am finding so many styles of writing since joining this site
I thought I had wandered though most of them myself.
This is great thank you. -
I am glad you like it - it was all in fun
-
Awesome as usual
LMAO - wow mair, remind me not to get on your bad side! Loved this...you do have a way with words...so descriptive and absolutely alive. I do so love your writing, you are amazing.
PS - Perhaps I should hold your bag for you? Hmmm - or maybe not (remembering the torn and tattered pieces from the last bag)
