Keys To Success For Poets Poem by Glen Martin Fitch

Just write.
No form, no rhyme.
Be free.
Try strange associations.
Confuse all when you can.
Don't punctuate
'cause no one hears,
they scan.
and you know
where to pause
and lines can change.
Get famous friends
and drop a name or two.
Be of your age.
Assume a nom de plume.
And be a victim.
Find a cause.
Don't groom.
Be of a place.
A high-way sign will do.
Think of your publisher,
his bottom line.
He needs a series,
think in trilogies.
And make your life
a myth to gloss
to please some
future student's paper's
grand design.
Just fill the page
with jargon
crazy stuff.
Be free.
Type words on paper.
That's enough.
