My Great And Terrific Poem Poem by Brian Mayo
My Great And Terrific Poem
I'd like to tell everyone about
the great poem I'm going to be writing
very soon.
It's really going to be terrific.
I don't want to reveal too much
but I promise you
it will contain many great words and terrific poetic
phrases and I'm sure as you're reading it you
will be very impressed with
how terrific it is.
You will say to yourself,
"Golly, this is really great! " or
"Whoa, this guy's a terrific writer…! " or even,
"Boy Howdy! Did you see
that enjambment? "
After you finish reading
my great poem, many
of you will feel something
akin to jealousy.
That's okay.
It's a normal human
reaction- -especially after viewing a poem as
terrific as the one I'm going
to be writing.
It's important that you recognize
talent like mine is a fluke- -an
incredibly rare and precious gift
that the common man (you) will never
fully understand.
Your only option is
to marvel at my greatness and try like hell to copy my terrific style…
You'll fail, of course, but it's okay- -I realize
you have to try.
I can't wait to get started…
I mean, the sooner I finish,
the sooner the accolades will pour-in.
It's really going to be great.
You are a hoot Brian! ! Don't know how I skipped this one... Perfection and a 10 - :)
duh! enjambment? ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - enjambment [en-jam-muh nt, -jamb-] • Word Origin noun, plural enjambments [en-jam-muh nts, -jamb-] (Show IPA) . Prosody. 1. the running on of the thought from one line, couplet, or stanza to the next without a syntactical break. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ok, but what IS “syntactical”? ? some sort of flying dinosaur? ? ? “You’ll fail, of course, ” ……………this got a devilish chuckle out of me. [are you sure YOU aren’t ME? oh, yeah, “syntactical” ………I wouldn’t have used it ‘cause I never heard of it! ] speaking of “great”, this would do very well in Section B of ‘my’ “a showcase for PH poets” for December. how about it? bri :) to MyPoemList

when you joke about your doing, should you apply rules, the same rules? visiting moon did we apply for visa? and the earth looks much nicer!
I never joke. And what rules? There are no rules in poetry.
