or anybody can be a poet
from observation it occurs to me
anybody can be a poet
all one has to do is write a paragraph
any paragraph
even nonsence is allowed
break the sentences into unequal parts and stack them
on top of each other
throw in a blank line or so
only use small letters
play fast and loose with the tab key
ignore any kind of rules
like rhythm
like meter
like structure {not needed]
only worry about ‘free’ expression as
o p e n is well--------great
that is all anybody seems to want anyways
these days
oh me a rhyme gasp
these efforts can be only marginal prose ok
even the few that occasionally rise to eloquence
r most definitely not poetry
underneath the lazy tree
oops
egad i made another rhyme, silly me
