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
spurring you to run
and daily deepened
an ultimate trap;
Turning your name
from Diana to Di,
They witnessed tragedy,
before you died.
