Notes About The Poem

My writing kink - overexplaining myself.


 

For the Story

Like a dog digging bone, I hunt stories
Write orgies from words known
With syntax like old men's drone
And metaphors overblown

Vanya, congratulations on receiving Honorable Mention in my Straight One-Rhymed Englyn poetry contest! From this old man’s perspective there is certainly nothing wrong with the way you hunt stories! ;)

Thanks for the contest & the placement, Mark. It ended quite differently from how I initially planned it, although that's how most writing process works I guess. Also, no offense to old men. XD
