Unmitigated Verse Poem by Patti Masterman

Unmitigated Verse

Rating: 5.0


Don't ever read these poems
They are not literary fait accomplis

I am not board certified to write poetry

My relatives are inbred
Some of them were even from Arkansas

I am not a wizard of words
Hiding behind the curtain of degree

It is only your own time you waste here

Don't ask me to mail a check for lost hours
Any mental illness that ensues
After being exposed here

Or if you break out in a mixed pox, of metaphors

Worse, if you catch this virus
And begin to write unmitigated verse
Tangled in aphorism and drowned in simile

And nobody wants to read it

Realize then, that you are committing poetry-
Which is an indefinable offense

Under the statutes of pablum.
