Poem-A-Day: Day 25

Response to Hate Mail

Dear Reader,
 It is, with my understanding
that I have deeply offended
one, or all of you.
To this,
I give my sweetest condolences?
Perhaps, as a token
of my true understanding
of our venerable, personal relationship,
that I offer you my life
in response.
At least, I would,
if you hadn’t already taken it.

   Yours,
   Author
