Cassandra's Compromise

Cassandra's Compromise

Karyn Indursky
 
Once upon a time
Princess Cassandra was
a poetic author
who whittled inspiration...
 
She gained haters
from being published,
advertisers running commercials,
and insecure, jealous audiences.
 
Growing flustered and frustrated,
Princess Cassandra went on strike,
told people to kiss her ivory white ass,
stop being selfish, mean, insensitive
and leave her the hell alone.
 
Princess Cassandra's friends, family, fans
weren't happy for they 
saw her poetry as a blessing,
cherished her muse,
beamed with pride of her accomplishments,
and didn't want her giving up
her poetry for Anyone.
 
Negotiations transpired and Princess Cassandra
decided to let the rhythms of her muse
flow down her black inked paper,
but slowed down on adding, sharing, and exploring poetry.
