Have you got time
for a rhyme?
No?
Okay, this will have to be
free
verse.
(“Call the Poetry Hearse
because trad poetry is dead!”)
I said
it would happen
and it did;
it has been found out,
wherever it had been hid.
Now there is nothing
but opening doors
that once were shut,
and gentle tides
on foreign shores;
all metaphors
and similar things
that no longer conform
to the old poetry laws.
Please comment upon these words
in syllables of no more than two thirds.
