Poetry Theory
the ultimate conspiracy
playing out on the page
the situation's gravity
taking center stage
a pen held hostage
subjected to torture
this poet has leverage
can the mighty pen endure?
its blood steadily spilling
saturating the co-conspirator paper
this poet's slowly killing
her very own loyal helper
what could be the reason,
the purpose, the rhyme?
with all this poet's emotion
the pen's running out of time!
oh no! the pen just gave in!
well, now we get to know
where the conspiracy did begin
and the motivation behind this show
