Cinquains for The King
August 19, 2007Elvis
died long ago
thirty fucking years even
and I wish to God you all would let
him lie.
***********
Mama
loved Elvis more
and more as years passed,more
than anything, even her children or
husband.
************
He was
smoking tinder
catching fire in girl’s hearts
smoldering, blazing up, sudden
ashes.
*************
He died
young, like only
the good supposedly die
the young arent supposed to do,and
Mom cried.

recent poetry challenge- either write about Elvis or write a villanelle. Decided I hate Elvis only slightly less than I hate writing villanelles.
