Poetry 101

You may resort
to a word like thyme
That's because
your thoughts don't rhyme

You must insert line
breaks where they
are least
Expected

Poets who
don't aren't
really
Respected

Finally, you could get more
than the arses of lemmings
if you spell your name
like e.e. cummings

If you write
poetry or prose
that is true to your heart and/or
soul

what the f-word does it matter
if others censure you
for lack of rhyme
or for breaking the line

so what

if you spell your name like e.e.
or j.r.r.
or prometheus?

do the opinions of cretins really matter
when such fools are nowhere as interesting as the mad hatter?
