I am the me

[hester_prynne]

From podium odeeyum
hear me speak,
while bits of cake
from my botox lips doth leak.

Words bejeweled ejeweled
come spouting out,
yes I am the me
everyone talks about.

No ground below elow
my heightened steps,
I float above
all human depths.

Unfathomable athomable
songs I sing,
I am unreachable
like a brass ring

Do not despair espair
at my being above,
pomp and eloquence
are a far cry from love.

[Doreen Peri]

Ha! I love it!

[revolutionrabbit]

striking, to ponder
told with a wild yonder
ponder yonder she goes

ode to a podium

[sooZen]

Gotcha Hes'
Nice little ditty!
you are you
who is that girl?

[Nazz]

kinda reminded me of watching Sarah Palin do her Marie Antoinette-esque pontiferation on the teevee-- the fake righteous patriotism and puffery and what have ya, and the general disconnect of it all. Wasn't what I expected when I clicked on the title. Cool.

[revolutionrabbit]

the puffery of the power greedy.

and how did we arrive at this juncture?

that a whore of Babylon like Palin could seem even dumber then Bush.

as she practices shooting poor defenseless wolves from a Hell-copter, she
is being programed, just like they programed us, by dumbing us down,
with "lies lies and more goddamn lies"

[SadLuckDame]

Yes, lovely botox, lovely lies, Hester fun to be had in this. A dawning of a new race of plastic.

[Arcadia]

put all in one...! bravo, hester!!!

[goldenmyst]

Superb use of language. The last line was a great ironic twist.

[Barry]

Do not despair espair
at my being above,
pomp and eloquence
are a far cry from love.

"You are the love from whence all my eloquence hath come."
(what he said to her on the night he died)

Peace,
Barry
