An Introduction to Devotion
Do you consider yourself adept? The face of
oh my and the body of a wish: this is the error
of sadness. Now you say, don 't implicate me.
Too late, sweetness. As in the Bonnie & Clyde dream . . .
Relentlessly acquisitive. As in, get ready
for us, God. This is small-time rapture. Soothe me.
Or else, I said to no one in particular. Back off—!

I heart Mary Ann Samyn's poems. Also, she is a fine person.
I love to hear that. This poem grabbed me by the proverbial lapels and said, soon, you must seek out more Mary Ann Samyn. A guide will lead you...
(With pretty posies besides.)
Got in MiPoesia--speaking of the advice of good flowers.
Thank you.
