Ah, I hadn't finished.
Poetry, it seems to me,
(from a comms perspective) is
like putting a wild animal in a zoo
in the interests of conservation.
All those eager poetry apostles
trying too hard to make a case,
a minor flurry in a niche field.
Damn... I keep doing that.
Hilarious haikus on Twitter-
occasionally writing in a notepad,
soulless and oblivious

I wish I had time to decipher

Eating dough in a polythene bag.

Alanis Morissette's Ironic, a squid.
Rain on your wedding day-
a free ride when you've already...
the good advice that you...
Who would've thought.
'Hey kids...song lyrics are
poetry too’. Overall you've got
something here. I just wish
my typing fingers would behave.Written using Facebook comments replying to the question
'what does National Poetry Day mean?'
