Pattern Poem
September 14, 2011
I'm not one for saying
BREAK OUT OF THIS BOX!
I like form and routine,
Predictability and syllabuses,
I like uniform things.
But when it comes to poetry
That's not my way.
Tell me:
Just fill in the blanks!
I'll stare at the page with eyes red aflame
but wet with tears
--enraged at such a thought
(I always was the dramatic type)
Yet nonetheless, I don't like the rhyme,
the pattern,
the form,
When it comes to poetry-- I like
going against the norm
