Tribute to Princess Di

Tragedy
Tribute to Princess Di
By Tatiana Pahlen

The sympathy . . .
The grief . . .
The cry of the world . . .
The choking news
burst bloody cold.
The peerless Lady,
shy as a child,
abused by tattlers
with fatal chat.
Pursuers smelled blood
urging you to run
and daily deepened
Their ultimate trap;
Turning your name
from Diana to Di,
They witnessed tragedy,
before you died.
