I don’t write with malice or spleen,
I’m a charitable commentator.
My poems are not often mean .
I don’t write with malice or spleen
But mean to write something obscene
When humble works crumble for greater.
I don’t write with malice or spleen,
I’m a charitable commentator.

I write with malice and spleen
and often a dash of obscene,
a small pinch of hate
in harangues to berate
and a drop of abuse to demean.

That's much more attractive, just spit in
the eye of the foe. Don't submit in
the first round, but fight
with deliberate spite,
it's your own nest that you're going to shit in.

Flashing Her Line Breaks




I am a modern poet.
I make my line breaks clear.
It don't just look like poetry.
This stuff is real and you can see
my lovely line break here,

and here,

and here,

and here,

and here--

my wondrous line break here.

Frank,

This is very funny and quite well placed, I might add. Love the title too! You ought to send this to one of the light journals. Really.

Frank, that line breaks one, is terrific. I agaree with Anne, definitely publishable.

Janet Kenny 07-07-2008 07:07 PM

Oh yes ;)
