Somebody loved them Tisha A casting call To queens would be Of splendor painted pageants Gowned and crowned Libations budding In southern bells carillons Star eyed girls Ringing whet anticipation Pick me, Pick me Each flower bloomed and Bloomered in chiffon tender sprouts displayed for all to ravish Somebody loved them Tisha You took them The ones who stumbled slightly In their pink innocence You took them Told them they were slightly flawed But with your help They could be the sovereigns Of a bigger prize With just a tad Of your precious Magic coaching And your extra edge Of confidence You took them Then you showed them Bigger sky's with stars Brighter than the countryside And men with power And glory could be So Generously grateful For small favors Little favors Savored between youthful Thighs and It was just one time One night Who would know? Somebody loved them Tisha Bleu Like your husband Who showed them the second Came Easier than the first time And a little more Confidence made it all A pretty party A cumming out of Sorts Your own daughter Tisha, A slender slice of Cheesecake at only Twelve you dressed her In a scandalously skimpy Leotard to show how fair Her fairness at The county fairs As she tumbled and tossed And twisted for Senators and Bankers, Lawyers, and Aldermen She spun the mat Spun their heads As you collected Bids Somebody loved her Tisha Even the rat he was Drowning in the backyard pool The stubborn madam Wouldn't let such sentiment Stand in her way Somebody loved them all Tisha Bleu Somebody Not you Hate is a dead thing. Who of you would be a tomb? -Kahlil Gibran |

Rebel~ Powerfully you have dredged emotions with this poem. The story had to be a tough one to deal with ... but deal with it you did ! It will be interesting to see what you tweak. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I guess what I'd consider tough to deal with was living in a town where almost everybody knew this and nobody did anything... and I was one of the nobodies... but, twas long, long, ago... I'm sure nothing like that goes on now.. (yeah right) thanks for the read all...!! and the compliments |

Great jumpin' day Guy, you're good! I read this yesterday, and sat there with a reply...backspace (too trite)...reply...backspace (too trite)...reply... Eventually gave up, since I couldn't think of anything that wouldn't sound horridly trite. Saw it again today, and ugh! It actually made me mad, carried more impact on the second and third read. An excellent poem about a brutal subject, you've created here. |
