This was sent to me from a poetry magazine that is interested in publishing a piece of mine. I thought it was thought provoking and cute.
Triolet on a Line Apocryphally Attributed to Martin Luther
A.E. Stallings
Why should the Devil get all the good tunes,
The booze and the neon and Saturday night,
The swaying in darkness, the lovers like spoons?
Why should the Devil get all the good tunes?
Does he hum them to while away sad afternoons
And the long, lonesome Sundays? Or sing them for spite?
Why should the Devil get all the good tunes,
The booze and the neon and Saturday night?
Do you believe in the Devil...?
