What?!@
Drink the words in by dozens, like honey,
dripping off the tongues of poets and onto paper,
forming puddles that resemble stanzas.

Here! an adverb,
there! and adjective.
Everywhere a crown of phrases and clauses.

In the disarray that becomes the writer,
the gloating look of pride replaced by fear, a look—
bewildered—a deer in headlights:
the statement defies all logic and comprehension.
I’ve only written three stanzas?!

I like this. It's very loud, and out there, well still being enjoyable and making some sense. The ending was one that made me smile too, which is always nice.

MERRY WRITING!

Hi I really liked your poem. It was really good. Keep on writing great poetry like that.



I wondered why we put villains in our stories when we have plenty of them in real life; then I realized that maybe we wanted stories where the good guy wins.
