Ars poetica

Hoist on their own petard

Mace in hand, mortarboard on head,
Who lead workshops make poems dead
Wrong dead right dead strong dead light

Dead dead dead because tuition terms

Of service prevent them from touching
their charges; absent the rosy fingers of
dawn, there is no muse, no poem, just work.
