Literary:
This verse ethereal is what thou hast.
Allusive:
Gertrude’s pigeons, Proust’s cakes, Shakespeare’s past.
Obscure:
I piddle on the yellow moon, and you.
Egocentric-masturbatory:
I turn in bright me, and the world turns too.
Prosaic:
My aunt served him a cup of breakfast tea.
Sentimental:
Love, your caresses are soft symphonies.
Pornographic:
My Love! My God! I live to fondle knees!
Precious:
Ah! The exquisite paleur of the quail!
Political:
Fashionable senators in jail.
Personal-Confessional:
Though it’s a subject Jane Austen avoids,
Let’s chat a bit about my hemorrhoids.
Mismetered:
I think I’ve only occasionally heard,
From time to time, a much more confusing word.
Misrhymed:
This is a sorry misrhymed poem a-
Bout the incompetence of a writer.
Pseudo-experimental:
Broken cor
ners of me
tric lines bore
me. This po
em has no
wit.
