A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
Quit your harassing,
passing
me when I come
from
my trick-or-treating jaunt,
aunt to aunt.
You want my goodies but you can’t
have them, for I’ll toss them ’round.
I’d rather see them on the ground,
passing from ant to ant.
