Problem Poetry (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
“Your verses belong in the can,”
Said the prof to a man. “They don’t scan.
The problem’s your beat,
Plus your poems have no meat.”
I’m guessing he wasn’t a fan.
I was prompted to write this by Blog Friday, where you can find more problematic poetry and prose.
(You can find more of my poetry here.)
