The Easy Steps to Writing a Poem

October 31, 2011

Insert cliché phrase in *here,*
Insert name of someone dear,
Insert dates, times, and places,
Insert commas, awkward spaces,
Insert strange psychotic meaning,
Insert odd, old-fashioned greeting,
Insert hopes and insert dreams,
Insert: “It wasn’t how it seemed,”
Insert raving, raw emotion,
Insert a people in commotion,
Insert angry, boiling hate,
Insert love for someone late,
Insert rhyme scheme, insert words,
Insert something of nature’s turns,
Insert gleam of fallen snow,
“That gave the luster of midday from down below,”
Insert connection that was too sheer,
Insert a poem right in *here*
