An Abecedarian Poem Keeps Me Fresh
Why do I write poetry?
It is something that helps me relax, like painting and cartooning.
Most of what I have written probably isn’t poetry at all
Just really short short short stories
When people ask for a specific type of poem I look it up
I can do a few things without researching them now
Ninette, nonette and sonnet are easy for me.
I do check the syllable count with howmanysyllables.com
Tanka I always have to look up, and it makes me feel silly.
Because it is only five lines. Why can’t I remember it?
Quintain and English quintain and quatrain are something I have to research.
I can do personalization, acronym and rhyme without research.
Free verse and light verse are easy.
Sometimes I know it is a narrative, not a poem at all.

Chiefs of Mischiefs
Chiefs of mischiefs are-
Vulnerable honourables

Turning we entity into a nonentity
Chiefs of mischiefs are-
Juristically judicious judges
Who swap judgment for payment
Transforming prisons to lodges
For penniless paupers to torment
Chiefs of mischiefs are-
The various ambivalent voters
To whom tokens be given
In lieu who hawked their quota
Of fortune and their children’s children even
Chiefs of mischiefs are-
Impartially official officers
Whose working formulas be tribalism
Absenteeism, favouritism. And those Lucifers
Dwelling on the deck of vandalism
Chiefs of mischiefs are-
The series of sinister citizens who
Art devoid of fear of God
Perishers of our betterment at home
Crushers of our dignity abroad
