Girly (Free verse) by Dovina

Fingernails long clicking keys wrong until polish dries words can’t fly rubbing itchy eye mascara’s a dye hair flussed and curly but had to rise early sushi with chopsticks redo lipstick but I’m better off girly than poetess, surely this poem of mine won't seem to rhyme

Once again, you've used the word 'merely' where I meant nothing of the sort. Even if you mean it as a joke (by now) stop.

And get a fucking clue. I haven't just "heard that 'poetess' and 'girly' are not opposing", I've heard it from Virginia Woolf and a great many of the most respected feminist scholars in America. To use a metaphor you're bound to love, you're doing something like approaching Hank Aaron and saying "that's not a home run, a home run is when you stand naked on second base and trump into the upper bleachers" and then when he asks you why, trumping into his scared darkie face.
