If by Hollywood Killer you're referring to DD Clark and Carol M. Bundy then they would lure prostitutes and young teenage girls to have sexual intercourse and shoot them shortly after. Some he decapitated and some he would procede to having sexual intercourse even after they were dead (necrophilia). He would dispose of the bodies out in the open.
D. She feels bad about missing the meeting.
Hello there if you are talking about "pretty words" by Elinor Wylie then.. I think the tone for the poem is admiring be cause when Wylie says "Words shy and dappled, deep eyed deer in herds" and, "I love words opalescent, cool and pearly", it shows her admiration for all sorts of words. When Wylie says in line 1 " poets make pets of pretty, docile words", she means that you can command words to do whatever you want if you know how to use em.
Theme: poets understand the uniqueness, weight, and beauty that words can hold and they know how to use them.
So pretty much here's a little summary: the speaker is comparing words to pets, and how they can be 'tamed'.
Hopefully that all helps!
