PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Each English course I took was like an elephant:

beneath its stomping foot my hope, smashed, like a flea.
Years later, I was told by Lady Poetry:

"Defy their customs.  Write whatever poem you want."

So I changed majors, signing up for History;

leaving their sort of literature to mere professors---

caretakers of the sepulchers of "Not to be";

and, of their students' crushed intentions, the possessors.
