Happy 90th Birthday, Sylvia Plath Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Happy 90th Birthday, Sylvia Plath

Rating: 5.0


I dreamt of you, Ms. Plath in Maidform bra
Writing distrubing sonnets
Under the grey English sky
Why did you turn on the gas?
Was life too hard not to see the future?
You should've divorce him
And return to America
As you forget about yr old man
Who torture you with his death
Cast him off; and snub him like a cigarette
O' Syliva you gave a million reason
To want the emancipation of the male's wish of an ideal woman
Out of the house, being what they want to be
Yr voice will live on the million pages
In other women's hands

Great tribute, LeeAnn! I picked up a copy of her book The Bell Jar recently, but I haven't read it yet.

Befitting tribute to an iconic woman. Sadly she left the world too early and deprived the lovers of literature of the great poems that were still in her mind. So thoughtful of you to write a poem for Sylvia! Definitely an ideal for every writer. Kudos!

They were both great poets...and tortured souls. So very tragic that it led to the suicide of such a beautiful soul. As always, you've done her a great service, LeeAnn. Great to revisit this poem.

Heart touching poem, LeeAnn, my favourite poet, but tragically ended her life in that coldest winter in England
