Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery, So Don'T Sue Me, Wallace Stevens

I know what a poem looks like. I know how to make my prose look like verse. A little tuck here, an indent there, et voila! It’s verse! or worse ... a pale imitation of seem. (can I have some ice cream?)

I love Steven's gorgeous english in some of his poems, though I find him often less than clear. Many thanks for reading my work. Always appreciated. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
