Notes About The Poem
For: Poetry Soup Contest! Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Benjamin Bartley
Poetry Soup 101
First make your base using all the pages
of your poetry submissions.
Simmer 20 years or so
or until your first acceptance.
Add the vowels one at a time
(and maybe Y but prob'ly not).
Use A B C to make it thinner;
X and Z to make it thicker.
Adjectives are to your taste;
adverbs may make a waste.
Serve it up with old-fashioned pen and ink,
or avant-garde with electric links.
...and for desert a simple pie
up in the sky where poems die,
filled with the editors and 'zines
that just say no while you wait for yes!
