One More Time for the Flies
or
Steaming Brown Pile
This poem can only end in doom,
in misery and crazy,
or overdose on Hallmark cute,
a victim of my lazy.
There might be serendipity
in this humiliation:
the millstone is my destiny,
a cherished, kooky passion.
The iambs need their harmony,
no tortured rhymes or wrenching!
The forms kiss immortality
when writers' hands are burning.
