OMGosh! How great is this poem! I absolutely love the meaning and sentiment you relay here. I am also really moved by the way it got to me, so passionate are your words and with the rhythm behind them, really hit home.

Like what you've done here, and especially like the waspy women poking. There is definitely humor to be found in the nit-picky hypocrisy of a waspy woman!

Wow, Tim. Two greenies from the same poet is quite remarkable and humbling. I thank you, again, for your generosity and interest. Take care my friend. Tom
Comment from Gloria ....
This is a terrific social commentary poem, Everett. Your metre and rhyme written to perfection and well the fashion industry, and the old adage you can never be too thin or rich are well delineated and confined within the lines of a wonderful poem.
I can see you are a formalist poet it shows in the flow of this beauty.
Thanks for the share.

Yes, yes...this is deserving of that almighty Sixth Star; however, I just don't have one to give, said the Waspy Woman. On to the review. This is such a sarcastic, profound and just plain great piece of work! The flow of the entire poem is perfection. And the words blew me away. I can't write down each one, or I'd be copying the entire poem. Bravo, for a work well done using that weapon of absurdist humor!

Hello easyeverett1
The way I understand in parts of your poem
(about waspy women) were the women in prison
when you wrote--
All present indiscretions and
confessions passed as sin
will find in time backslidin' minds
are slippin' in again.
Too late for fate to find a place
Well at least I gave it a try when I watched the series on TV (Orange is the new Black) that is what you were referring to?

Too late for fate to find a place
where faith and hope await
but somethin' in the wind again
will land upon my plate.
EE,
Funny, I can't really figure out if this is a compliment to those certain women or a cry for help. *smile* Either way, I enjoyed. The above lines were my favorite. Thanks!

Very interesting display of affection for waspy women, or perhaps, this is a sarcastic remark. Refrain played over and over helps emphasize main character in this story. Seems writer wants waspy women to be treated nicely even though they are cruel to others. lol liberty justice

Very good job in marrying this poem/lyrics to the battle hymn of the republic. I have never tried to do this before. You have inspired me to give it a try. Don

The chances are, there may be more than a few FS Protestant women who will read this poem, Bill. You are a reckless and admirable man, putting art ahead of impending personal concerns.
Good work.
