My Kind..a spin on Ann Sexton's Poem (Her Kind)
My Kind
Bewitched in the night
Lady by the day
She does go out
In a frightening way
She marks her spot
Above the shire
Creating havoc
Without desire
Now it is time
As she must go
Moving on
To the river below
Within darkened caves
She shall live
With no repentance
For others to forgive
Fairies and elves
And anything that crawls
Came to her lair
Where she cooked for them all
Once was I
What she is now
They fed my parts
Below burning ploughs
Hot was I
For what they did
Not understanding
That I once lived
My interpretation of Ann Sexton's poem, “Her Kind”.
