I Died For Beauty

Anonymous men play a part in a lot of ABPJ poems. Every other review seems to have a mystery date -- but this one is introduced so violently, he makes the audience jump. He GRABS her by the hand. He doesn't take her by the hand, he doesn't even grasp her hand. He grabs it! He tears it right off her wrist! It's his hand now!

This is from the Amazingly Bad Poetry Journal, a website that posts the "best" of sites like Poetry.com and ridicules them. (There don't seem to be any permalinks, so scroll down to January 5 for the poem being discussed.)

Which is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel -- but hey, we'll take our fun where we can.
