On Writing Poetry
I will begin with a pink ribbon
and all its ambiguous implications.
Then I’ll ease in a large
dog, a Siberian Husky or Saint
Bernard and let it run. Perfect!
After the canine, show
off my prowess with language,
add an alliteration (All
the best poets use ‘em.).
Later, deeper into the poem,
I’ll revert to concrete
imagery, a tree
or phonebooth should do.
All the while taking
care to avoid
disparaging melodrama
and heart wrenching sentiment.
To wrap it up I’ll end
with an obscure literary reference:
claim Marlow loosened
my tongue, getting me
to the heart of it. Brilliant!
