Airplane Propeller Poems | Examples

Rudolph Jon Rinaldi

RARELY 
I WRITE MY NAME IN FULL
IT WOULD APPEAR 
OF ME 
TO BE 
POMPOUS AND PRETENTIOUS

RUDOLPH JON RINALDI
HAD THE SYMMETRY AND POWER 
Of A NEW SHINNY AIRPLANE PROPELLER PROP
BUT THAT WAS THEN
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
 
AND NOW IN AGE  
IT SEEMS 
TO BE
OF ME 
TO HAVE
THE BEAUTY AND SOLIDITY 
OF AN OLD ASS
