STUDIFIED JONES

by TD Euwaite

To have a full set of teeth again,

like back when I could

bite a #2 Ticonderoga in half,

Unspent paper was the wasted,

loose leaf, ream sized binders full,

Chewed to pulp for spitwads,

Receptacles for every kind of refuse,

Catch basins, trash bins, pencil-filing traps,

Consumables, with no permanence of ink,

The arithmetical brilliance

of Geometry homework

folded into an airplane.

  1. School daze poem!  Free verse or open form,  when read aloud this has a good cadence.  Thanks.


  2. You should try this with ink.......it'll look like a Jackson Pollock........ wait all your poems all read like a J.Pollock.

  3. PP: Do you know why I pulled you over, Mr. Euwaite?

    T: No, Sir, Officer.

    PP: I’ve pulled you over for unsafe line lengths. Although the Tercet does allow for no set meter and/or rhyme, you should at least make some effort to add music to your phrases.

    T: Huh?

    PP: Because you normally rhyme like Mother Goose, I’m letting you off with a warning.

    T: Thank you, Officer.


  4. excuse please  thought this was poetry site  where poetry?
