The Princess and the Pea

She was the princess
I was the pea. I was
her constant irritation
her punishment for sensitivity
I was course, she was fine
I poured paint, she drew the line
through fifty mattresses she could feel me

thank you westie
the essence of poetry
is brevity
and pictures painted with a single stroke

i agree and wish that knowledge is appreciated.
i've been mulling around in my head a poem to a poet not understood. fictional but not
i don't want to struggle when i read POETRY

my feeling exactly
I don't want to do research to understand a poem
I just want the light to go on
multiple orgasms are nice
but at least give me one

do you mean course or coarse - coarse seems to fit the context, but i may be missing something. solid work.

'till she started peeling off her onion gook
she took off her wig said, "how do i look?"
I was high flyin', bare nekked, out the window"
