Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

oxymoronic poem

On discovering her to be faithfully unfaithful

as well as truly false

he endured a living death, unable to stop

adoring her who seemed so fiendishly angelic

when in fact a diabolical madonna.

 

Immediately after this unearthly coming down to earth

he still felt some murderous affection

deep within his worldly soul.

However, with a last bittersweet act of will

in ways apparently invisible and

now with heartfelt indifference

he roused up from his acute apathy

and, anticipating the unanticipable

spread accurate rumours around

to begin to end their ill starred affair.

thanks everyone (Desmond, Hannah,Brian,Jon,Anya and Kate G. It's not to be taken seriously, but as an answer to Ray's Onomatopoeia, can't remember how to spell it! That's definitely an infinitely superior poem. Glad you found it amusing anyway.

I love the first two lines and the rest.
Brilliant !
