She Makes a Million Pointless Overtures MAG
June 13, 2013
She grasps
For the poignancy
She lacks.
She is the incarnation
Of a stereotype--
A mass of mascara
Doesn't make you
Banshee
Nor Erlking.
You're no
Tortured soul--
Stop pretending you
Make sacrifices to
Agni all night!
You fell asleep
At 8 –
I saw the A+
You got yesterday.
Death poems
Won't snare
The fear
You desire –
More caged raccoon
Than wicked witch of the
West Coast.
The only attention
Your twenty piercings
Get you –
Is irritated
Old ladies.

Regardless if this is for girls only, I think it's a general poem. Guys can be drama queens...or is that kings? And try to be preppy. I love the imagery, especially "the twenty piercings". It reminds me of Lisbeth Salander. I enjoy the comedy in this poem. I think you're absolutely talented.

Alright, I red this, and yes I'm a male, and this was meant for a female audience I believe, but I couldn't help realizing how well structured your poem is. I love how you describe the annoying, obnoxious drama queen of our century. It's rather a very comical poem, and i love your humor. Great job :)

Hahahhahaaaa I LOVE THIS. Especially "more caged raccoon/Than the wicked witch of the West Coast" and "The only attention/Your twenty piercings/Get you--/Is irritated/Old ladies." SO UH-MAH-ZING! :D This should be sent to every girl who's personality can be described as either drama queen or preppy girl or a combination of both :D Excellent job!
