Fuck Yeats and Wordsworth
Screw Whitman and Dickinson
Joyce and Angelou too
Fellate Ginsburg
and your precious Bukowski
while you're at it( gasp)
Go curl up with these moldy dead poets
Dazzle the world quoting literary ghosts
Spare me the lecture on their modern relevance
I'm more concerned with hearing your words
Wanna write poetry but not sure how?
Since you never learned in school
how to write a proper haiku
Can't find a decent tutorial on YouTube
on proper iambic pentameter construction?
I suggest you don't fret ignorance of archaic rules
Just say what you need to say
Let your heart and soul guide the way
Don't let structure impede your course
No need to count syllables like a monkey
Leave that to the English Lit professors
in the corner stroking their hard ons
over the majesty of classical poetry
