the poet's interview

the poet's interview

i spilled sonnets on my suit

my tie tread with trochees

veritable verbiage confounding

i hid the senryu stains best i could

but they still shone through with their

short sheen splendor

i removed all the rhymes

but the bleached bland ballads

branched out in oxymoron

occasion

ruining my chances of creating a good impression

This one comes across as having been fun to write... but those senryu stains can be tough. ~Jim

So very clever Jacob. Don’t trip over any loose grammar marking the floor. A gem of a write.
