PrintPoem – CASSANDRA CURSING (By Ray Gallucci)
CASSANDRA CURSING – By Ray Gallucci
“Burn that horse – It’s full of Greeks!
Drag it in? Then kiss your cheeks
‘Au revoir,’ for you’ll be dead.”
Poor Cassandra has no “cred.”
Non-belief’s her curséd fate.
None will heed until too late.
Bittersweet’s “I told you so,”
When there’s none but you to know.
