Piedad Bonnett
too much ego, gained all manners of hate,
preached to her students  the unprosaism and the cliché
still wrote things she would, if grading, fail.
Day 25 of :iconnapowrimo: 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." ;)
