Poem: Tropes and Telenovelas

Drama where
no one takes anything
seriously.

Plot twists:
the villain is her
brother's cousin's nephew's roommate.

Song and dance
romantic ballads and
villain monologues

Gasps in mock horror
comas that lasts for years
"I died and came back as a snail."

Doomed and pining lovers
the scheming socialite
the loyal sidekick.

All stand the test of time
it all depends
on how you use them.
