At All Cost

Check out my book, SDeedy Town Blues Collected Poems, on Amazon.com

I gave her

latitude,

took the higher

road.

Appeasement 

never works.

She drank all

my whiskey

and stole my

parakeet.

The Romans bathed

naked in the

Tiber, and she

wins wars with

a smile.

Never mind the

casualties.

It brings to mind a Cleopatra-esque figure. The original femme fatale.

Thanks for reading, Ana.

I like the reference to the Tiber which is a historical high point. From the poem I feel you liked her so much you didn't mind it at all. Nicely done. :)
