poetry that i don't like

by Charlie Morgan


...that uses ellipsis...
that doesn't use CAPITALS
and then whails Love on a whipping post
and then where two lines are the same
and then lines that rhyme, you know lame.
and even ones with lines out of place.
...then ellipsis again...
which means you gotta think for yourself
what you want to put in the next sentence
with the three dots following ...

...anyway, other poetry i don't like
would probably make a longer list,
than poetry i like, you know, like mine;
you know, the kind of stuff i write.

...you mean to tell me,
you haven't read what's in my head
so you don't know the ken of my pen
and seeing this still you doubt
anything by me couldn't be stout.
hey, i'll read him one day in May,
his soul will be happy and that way
i can go on about ignoring him more;
he's still tryin' to be a literary whore.

tell and show! well done you "literary whore"...i'd like to think you are a literary escort, whore just sounds so demeaning, escort sounds rich, a good lay (OF WORDS)...seems like my comment is following right in tune with your poem ...

or is it? haha ~JPP
