New DogmaDon’t rhyme too much Don’t at metaphor clutch Don’t start lines with capitals Don’t dwell on flower petals (instead like a supping bee draw power from the flower) Build on each idea, pause Only to release your tears Do not say what you mean But do mean what you say And as each successive verb Causes your reader to loose his or her nerve Paralyze them with a noun! Leave them dribbling on the ground! And only then, my precious Ning Will the real magic of the poetry begin |
