Janet's Planet Poem by John Sensele

Janet slapped fate on the jetset planet
No cash, no hash, no bash for the internet
Where love leapt out, greed your feet swept
Distended dreams in stranded streams crept and wept

Jilted Janet jerked at the bling and fling
Swimming, trimming the valour in the sling
Crushing vestiges of hope
Sliding and gliding on the slope

Spilling seas of dysfunction in a heart torn between forgiveness
Dismissal of the missal you paraded and the responsiveness
Your exploitation aroused
As your greed espoused and roused

Disgust in forlorn feelings tearing the last strings
Fatalism strummed on banjos whose rings
Couldn't restrain rains of tears
Janet poured to excise tonnes of fears

That hitherto glued her captive to charms
Illusions and delusions felt in arms on farms
That once spelled and yelled comfort
Until your egregious intrigue yanked her into storming out of your fort.
