A poem for emoetry poetry prompts: tender 
sappiness 
rapture 
outraged 
nauseated 

She speaks in sugary tones,

Her tongue a plump cushion,

Lisping her cloying affection,

Singing the sweet music of compline
With nauseating hypocrisy.

Was her tenderness true

As she licked your ear’s dark canal,
Drawing you into rapturous applause?
How were you not outraged

By her sappiness—

Her Happiness—

At the ruin of our lives?

how to tell a true fairytale

he says it’s the sappiness that sticks,
as if the lifeblood of trees—
literal sweetness that bleeds—
is a problem.

each time i tell this story
i learn what survives remembering:
personal myths where
i’m sometimes the monster,
and sometimes the fairy.

sometimes i’m the perfect metaphor—
for enchantment,
for danger.

he expects a happy ending,
but fairies can’t lie.
and in that version of the story,
we don’t live happily after.

I'm not trying to write them all into a piece together.
It just keeps happening.

no #fairy #sappiness for her
she came from a #tough #block
#origin #myth stock of reaver
her beauty was a total shock
she used it to lead lambs to slaughter
from a young age #drill -ed
to give no quarter

Hearts flood your message
It's all so fucking sloppy
A sugary mess
I really should cringe and run
But I just want to hug you

Glimmerwhisk’s Sappy Saga

In a glade where mushrooms lie,  
And unicorns roll their eyes,  
Glimmerwhisk the fairy flew  
With sparkly wings and not a clue.

She loved a bard named Thistle Gwain,  
Who claimed he’d fought the Beast of Flame. 
He hadn’t, it only tripped on a rock,  
But he bragged about it round the clock.

They courted beneath the moon’s soft leer,  
While the unicorns snorted with jealous sneers.  
They kissed by a pond that judged them both,  
And swore their love with dramatic oaths.

But bards are fickle, and often flighty,  
And sappy vows are traded lightly.
She gave her heart, he gave a shrug,  
Then ran away with a banshee named Bug.

Glimmerwhisk cursed his socks with flair,  
And he woke as a frog with decent hair. 
But revenge did not mend her broken heart,
That one cruel trick was just the start.  

So in that glade, if you feel bold,  
Beware the myths that fairies told.

Poem for Poet Burnout This Morning

Wednesday prompts challenge this mind.
#Sappiness I cannot find.
#Fairies cannot hold my song.
#Myths themselves feel oh too long.
Perhaps I’m in a wearied state.
And should rest more and not create.

The #sappiness is thick like honey
Smeared on our hands. Dummies
For each other, we dance about
Stuck to each other and we shout:
Screams of orgasmic fury
Echoing outside in glory.

The #origin of that #myth
has been a #chore to find
I'm a #stickler for the truth
it's #tough to change my mind
but they say that after sex
the praying #mantis eats her mate
that brings #hearty #sappiness
cause #single life is great

Forgive my occasional #sappiness
When I describe my bliss
I believe I've tasted happiness
From the very first kiss
And as the years wore on
Each meeting of our lips
Compounded my joy beyond
What I believed could exist

Sappiness that made
Us want to spew, a sort of
Toxic happiness.

How to contain sappiness?
The announcement of marriage
makes all go giddy with happiness
joy abounding
but there's the harsh realities of life
further along the way

She flits to me,
gentle as a #fairy
#honey ed words
dripping in
#sappiness yet I
can sense those
#mantis legs
hidden beneath
her delicate wings.

As ever she wishes
to #generate mischief,
lead me astray,
but I'm not falling
for it missy,
I know her to well
that tricky pixie
shadow me—
leave me be.

It's the latest Ai trend
Long jowled Melpomene
Big beautiful strong
Tears pouring down their masks
Relying on inferior status
Waiting for a savior
All the shows have them
Talent shows
All start off with stories
Of babies who could hardly walk, or talk
A happiness of sappiness

Sappiness is a maple tree in Vermont,
when the sun lingers a little longer each day.
The chill of night sends sap running back to the root;
a slow thaw of hidden sweetness…
