Sylvia Plath
Formed a path
That went far beyond
The contrasts
Of masculinity
And femininity,
And social change
Actually does happen,
So a poetry collection
That references
The Little Mermaid
Uncovers the mysteries
That surround society,
So whether on land
Or within the depths of the sea,
Never underestimate
The power of poetry,
And if William Shakespeare
Could combine tragedy
With comedy
Through the ethereal qualities
Of Romeo and Juliet,
Then Sylvia Plath’s writing
Would suggest
That writing beautifully
Involves time well-spent,
So do much more
Than just help humanity,
But attempt to impact the world
Indelibly and permanently
