Click hereShe feeds on praise,
plies purple prose.
Error stands in her ways.
She denies them all,
turns favor inward,
heeding conscience' calls
though no one knows
her moments small as dust
lying webbed in corners,
unobserved among uncounted detrius.
Years
that never wash away in tears abide.
Seas of poems still crash ashore.
When storms roil disharmony,
she within the eye is held
unseen, in abject silence.
Alone.
Eerily serene in dreams,
until wakened to lightning,
screams.

The line that stands out for me is "Error stands in her ways." That's the one I'll be pondering. Good stuff.
T: She feeds on praise,
C: plies purple prose.
I like the poem. I was just trying to figure out who did which lines. :)
