3 Step Poetry
It springs upon you;
gleaming clawed metaphors
struggle to unhinge.
Many-legged adjectives
commence to crawl over the page
shedding endless varicolored skins.
Whole lines turn into robotic centipedes.
Then the seductive purr,
the mannered modes, the manicured forms,
the unmistakable reek of poetry.
The first step they say is 'recognition',
the second step is
to bleat indignantly about poetic license.
The third step is to clean up
after the poem craps itself.
