How To Be A Non-Poet Poem by Jackie Chou
How To Be A Non-Poet
Rating: ★5.0
Poets write poetry.
I order pizza,
watch reruns of Jeopardy
on Saturday evenings.
Close my emails with 'Sincerely'
instead of my own fancy phrase.
Wear solid colors.
No artsy-fartsy scarves
to set me apart
from a regular person.
Read Stephen King's bestsellers.
Blurt out cliches like the F-bomb.
No creativity to lose.
