Pears, Plums, Dills & Fudge

Roxanne Gold 2000 (New York)

Acrostic
Pears, Plums, Dills & Fudge
That's all you want?
Pears, Plums, Dills & Fudge
That's all you need?

You're just like every man
with your simple list
that I can never get right

Pears, Plums, Dills & Fudge
Do you even love me anymore?
Or is my pussy slowly turning into the one you came out of?

About this poem

A feminist masterpiece describing the all too much commonality of boyfriends looking for mothers, and not girlfriends. Love sucks, but this helps.
