Compensation

National poetry month is over. Long live Mr. Bar-B-Q

April was "National Poetry Month." Did you know? Maybe you're sad that it's over. But life has a way of providing compensation. Did you know that May is...

Oh, by the way

I took your steak
out of the fridge
grilled it up
and ate it

I feel guilty
It sizzled and glistened
And when I bit into it
the juice dribbled
down my chin

Don't be sad
Millions have lived without poetry
Not one without protein

--O.M.

Too funny! Good thing you are an Extinct Fossil, though. With that many links to me in a single post, you would have otherwise catapulted me to my heart's desire: Adorable Rodent. And that would make the Bear guy suspicious....
 
Oh, this brought back memories. When I was in college I got to take a class in poetry writing . . . one of the most enjoyable classes I ever took.

One of the class exercises was to write a poem in that style. I'll have to see if I can find my notebook and post one or two of them for you.
 
OK, here they are.
