Oh Sylvia, Oh Sylvia
verse so lascivious
words so afflicted
I have hardly learned
poesy this delicious
-----
Oh Sylvia, Oh Sylvia
your love so vicious
a life so perdicted
You had hardly lived
such an irrational decision
-----
Oh Sylvia, Oh Sylvia
your homley beauty
chasing his love
he who hath scorned
your gift so Colossal
-----
Oh Sylvia, Oh Sylvia
so cruel is time
too heavy to halt
and all too soon
suicide finally wrought
-----
Oh Sylvia, Oh Sylvia
I would like to have heard
the way that you lilt
rhyme like you rhyme
the cadence of your voice
-----
Oh Sylvia, Oh Sylvia
my love to you gifted
someone couldn't see
all that you embody
I assure you tis not wasted

Oh! I cannot tell you how delighted I am to find this! I am emphatically a Plath fan. And this - is a fine, fine tribute to her. (Trust me when I say this - to acknowledge that you've done her justice, is perhaps the most the powerful praise that I can offer....)
Gosh, I could just ramble on and on and on here... of her, of this, of her work and the connection I feel to it. I have written of her myself - and will continue to do so I'm sure (I don't think I'm yet satisfied... no, I know I'm not) - with what I've written thus far. The nearest I've come is to honor her via a write that began of Anne Sexton...
I feel as if I understand this and the inspiration that prompted you to begin this piece... though, I feel rather bold in saying as much. I'd guess that we feel similarly with regard to her, confessional poets in general, and... (dare I say it) even Mr. Hughes. I could go on... but, I'm sure I've said enough to let you know that you've made another Sylvia fan quite happy today. Well, well done!
