The Sad Story Of A Poetess….

Sylvia who she was?
what was she doing
when she left earth?

Has she left our world?

Yes, she has left earth
in a moment of tad pause

her heart was broken
her insides too

and she was broke

she disipiated
at the age of thirty
left a toddler girl
and a babyson
her greatest love
had gone

out of her sight
out of her life
with another
younger wife

it was not bliss
with that bigamist

North American born and bred

English poetess
primary zest

eight-year-old half-orphan

than with
sweet seventeen
she met
world famous Ted

they wed

honeymoon in between
UK and Southern France

in that time
the happiest couple
sublime

but
all so transparent
despite her great happiness

constantly onpeek in the morrow
much woe, melancholy
and greatest sorrow

completely lost her happiness!

since for her cozy home
and hearth
in the deepest winter

not a cent
to light the fire

she put her children
deepest under
double blanket

she left her lovely children behind
like a good mother did

well fed
but big
fret

then comes the elephant
with the large muzzle
blows out all the stories-puzzle....

A sad story-poem about the late great poetess Sylvia Plath, c.u.m. laude graduated from Cambridge University married with the world famous poet Ted Hughes, english poet, but as in most marriages, two most intelligent people have no match with each other. All the poems by Mrs. Plath are autobiographical poems. Truly a very sad story if she ended her life with suicide.

A beautiful story of life with a meaningful message. A lesson in life that we must put in heart and mind. Depression is a sickness that can take our own life and consequently hurt our loved ones. We must give and show more love to someone who is afflicted with this sickness.

A deeply poignant and moving poem. It is hard to imagine that a Poetess with great talent and young children can take her life in an instant. Life's pains and sufferings can cover our heart, mind and soul with darkness. The ability to conquer the evils in the mind is love of oneself and the love of our dear and near ones.
