there are words I don’t like
to see in poems
they are the liars
they are the poetic
and the words poets use to pretend
they are poets
I have not let these words enter
my vocabulary
I cannot bring them to mind
now that you ask
they don’t belong to revolution
or the masses
and they are the true poets
Written (after the fact) for the GloPoWriMo Day 10 prompt:
write a poem that uses alliteration and punning. See if you can’t work in references to at least one word you have trouble spelling, and one that you’ve never quite been able to perfectly remember the meaning of.
I guess I didn’t really hit this prompt but this is the inspiration that arose from it. Somewhat a manifesto.
