the path

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson
"

a sad story

"
She uses
and is
used

She abuses
and is
abused

She bruises
and is
bruised

--
the path
she refuses
to veer
from
only
leads
one
place.

Her favourite
colour is
lime green --
the dress
I bought
her for
prom.

I wonder
if they
make
casket liners
in that
particular
shade.

Clever use of words.
Very tragic.
That one place that the path leads is a scary place indeed.
I think that this is the first piece of yours that I've read.
I plan to read more.

this reminds me somewhat of the poem "barbie doll"

bitterly sardonic...with that black humor...and the twist at the end works so well..

same color as the prom dress....we cannot save...those who need that must save themselves.

really strong poem and the rhythm drives the point home like a stake in the heart. maybe a green one.

It is. If you haven't read it already, that girl was one of The Three.
