A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To Poetry

A poet lost for words with writer’s block and barrage

		Playing with Lego in Copenhagen

Anderson’s mermaid hard on the rock

		Casting away the human soul

The artist failing construction in a mechanistic world

		Retrieving Meccano

The pea shooter’s jammed and sour gun

		Squirting marmalade

A philosopher's dislike of wisdom

		Playing in Epicures’ garden

A pantomime screaming at a Buddhist retreat

		Having a silent make over

The adult child lost in fun and peculiar games

		Anticipating adoration

Homebound heaven’s firmament

		Right below some funny grounds
