The poet William Stafford said that
he wrote a poem every morning
about the first word that came into his head
This is what a poet do's
(for the grammar police, dos - operating system software)
So lower your standards and
don't wait for The Muse
So I
being an aspiring poetic guy
resolved to give his method a try
So here's a poem for me and you
It's title is I Need a Poo
I hope that that it's about going to the toilet
Doesn't offend you and doesn't spoil it
And now that I am able to sit at my table
A body intentive about being inventive
and choosing to write at the end of the night
I think
isn't that what creativities about
It's how I get my insides out
And now I've done it my only sorrow
Is the worry I'll write the same poem tomorrow
How low can my standards go?
