America And Apple Pie Poem by Kevin Carney

When writing a list poem keep in mind those 3 parts of literary form(opening, turning, & closing) Realize that the order of the list become sequential in nature. what comes first and what follows is very important. Also what is placed next to each other in parallel structures will create metaphorical antithesis as well. Which will make the depth of the poem more meaningful. The turning idea seems to be that America has changed. So all those lines need to be at least 2/3s of the way through the poem and not in the first half at all. You might want to think about your sequence a bit more. And I do agree with you corporate America has grown to stuffing their pockets without any morality at all. Banks that bet on going broke and paying bonuses for doing it do not have the American dream in mind at all. a poet friend RH Peat
