Petty Miss Harmony
Truth is syrupy,
truly viscous,
yet vicious,
embedded with irony.What made me soft,
burns their tongue now.Their boring bitterness
meets my sweetness
I find my niche—
I braid the leash.I corrupt their feed.
Sweet enough to swallow—
slow enough to trap.I spit it back.
Sticky as honey,
call me petty,
tag me Miss Harmony.I am not here
for the taste.You are.

I rarely listen to the audio clips people add to their work, but I'm so glad I listened to this one! Wow. It changed everything about this poem for me. I love the jazzy feel and the emphasis on particular words; it all worked so well together. I love it.
