Notes About The Poem

For 1487 Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

Popsicle Kings

Staple me. Label me.  Throw me in a file.
Hide me away among the things you revile.
I'll play and I'll plot and I'll plan all the while
                                                                         s
                                                                       g
                                                                      n
                                                                     i
                                                                    r
                                                                  p                                                                         
for when all that was cast aside brightly s
radishes, rhubarbs and cranberry strings -
when doodles and donuts are popsicle kings.
