Piedad Bonnett
too much ego, gained all manners of hate,
preached to her students the unprosaism and the cliché

You Cared Once...
I see you every day,
No words,
No hugs,
No feelings.
I’m dead to you,
Invisible,
I DON'T EXIST!!!
You’ve affected my life,
You’ve changed me,
And yet,
You walked away,
When you said you wouldn’t.
YOU PROMISED!
I trusted you,
And you stabbed me in the back with it.
You made me feel worthless.
And the worst part?
I'd take you back,
Let you back into my life,
Give you another chance,
If only you cared...
You did once,
But you don't now,
And what you don't know,
Is that I still do...

The Connoisseur
Evening in the thought quarry is sublime. The newly collected memories are finally digitized. After the day’s work, I relax and sort them, evaluating their body and character.
I load a new one titled “Elizabeth," dated for last week. I open the sensory log and dive.
I see green hills and the occasional flower. Clear skies. The sight has terrific clarity.
I pluck a nearby dandelion. The aroma is sweet and earthy. I take a greedy sniff and feel the sharp prick of a stinger. I tear away the insect. The pain finely accents the fragrance.

Day 25 of Write a clerihew: a humorous quartet in the AABB rhyme scheme, involving the name of a person.
So I chose Piedad Bonnett, former college teacher of mine (for half a semester), and, reportedly, the best national poetess(or female poet, for those sensitive with sexism in adjectives)... owner of an ego that´s city-sized, and ironically, adherent to "write as I say, not as I write".

Haha! I'm glad I haven't had the misfortune of having a professor with that big of an ego.
On a sidenote, I like the actual word "poetess," but (being female) I'd prefer to be called "poet," I think. That way, when I'm the best poet around, they'll just say, "She's the best poet!" not, "She's the best female poet."
