I adore this – it also may have helped give me a model to resolve some issues I’m having with another poem!
potent!
This is wonderful. I’m still laughing at the first lines.
Dang! There’s always that one toxic person who knows how to cut us down with their “honesty.” Your poem made me angry and laugh remembering those toxic people from my life. Well done!
Small doses make a good poem…
