A Poem (?) to Katha Pollit

You call yourself a poet,
because you write
like this
in lines that don't rhyme.

Ooops, that last one did
internally,
but without intention.
So please enlightened one
forgive my pedestrian attempt
at a craft that is
far superior - you think -
to my rational sensibilities.

I don't have a clue
what you are trying
to convey
with fancy allusions
so grand sounding, but without meaning
except to you, a poet,
so superior to mere humans.

Perhaps you should go
mail yourself to the moon
or marry a palm tree
or some other kinky thing
that I do not understand.
Then your daugher,
might be free of your
insanity and find that
there are plenty of others
who think her mom is an
idiot who writes poetry that sucks.

I love your poem (?) to Katha Pollit! That last line, when said aloud has quite an attitude.

Bravo! I needed a good laugh this morning. Your skills are already way beyond Amiri Baraka's.

That is absolutely hysterical!

Perhaps you should go
mail yourself to the moon
or marry a palm tree
or some other kinky thing
that I do not understand.

ROFL!
