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!
