Poetics, or: How to be a Snobby Fancy-Pants Hypocrite

Poetics, or: How to be a Snobby Fancy-Pants Hypocrite
by james bezerra

My problem with writing crappy poetry
- as opposed to song singing -
is that when you sing songs you’re free
to pronounce words weirdly
so that they sound kinda rhyme-y.

Such mispronunciation-ing
is not allowed in poetry writing!
We here have standards of practice
about which we are very serious!
So don’t try that kind of fakeroo
or the poetry police will come for you.
