Hester Prynne
Unorthodox heroine
With her white pearl to rose red -
Some would say
A love like that came from Walt Disney...
But these are only words -
Letters
To A
Missed opportunity to chance
Passion under a pulpit.
Was the pit even worth it?
Is the story, as written, even true?
Some say history; some say fiction,
Or was it friction...
That caused the unsightly, collared mess?
So many questions to a silent lip.
So many burdens,
Under a pulpit.
Worn sharply at the breast.
Seems only the woman could pass
A white pearl through rose red.
Funny, the irony, of wickedness
Born solemnly against the letter,
Under the pulpit,
And aimed sharply,
For the rest.
