Personal Sound and Form Poems

"The Abc of a class clown"

A boy can dance, eventually. Funny
Guys have intelligent jokes.

Knowing lies mysteriously
needs one's permission.
Quite Raging.

Some Things ultimately
veer weirdly

X is your Zealousness

  1. Jason, I like it. People often shy away from male-centric poetry. Thanks!

  2. I like how you warn the audience that the poem will "veer weirdly." That way the weirdness has humor and purpose. If you hadn't done that, I would just be staring at the poem going 'Huh?'

    As a side note, your poem puts me in mind of a particular haiku:

    Haikus are easy
    But sometimes they don't make sense
    Refrigerator
