The Zen of Poetry

by Madeline Pestolesi

SlaMiNG thE KeYS WIth mY InSOLent
PisSED ofF FInGerS
DaMn tHe MAn!
I'vE GOt SoMETHinG to SAY!
I sAw YoU GIVE the FiNGer
FRoM yoUr GeOrge W. BuMpeRSTicKedED HAtE maChIne.
I don't knoW you
OR WHy yoU BrInG me RAGE
So I wRite the AnGER down
HOping to Find meaning in its presence.

By the Time the Poem is finished

I realize the rage is gone.
slammed from my fingers
into a free-verse atrocity.
