Example Poem

  Surrender

Her passion was too much.

Now it's gone.

She condemned, deplored all abuse.

She praised the thrill of touch.

We'll bear on.

The jealous piled on, no excuse.

Her life was filled with hurt.

despite that,

or because of it, she performed

as an erotic flirt.

When at-bat

she homered passion unreformed.

Some men became aroused,

not content

to live within her fantasies,

and when requests were doused

time was spent

in fighting her apostasies.
