(Why people don't read modern poetry)
Maybe because
line drops and see here
these tics
of gratuitous style insert some random
Latinate bon mots so the uncouths
will stumble and then continue
kickkkking
when they are down and fogged up
With a [ ] pair of [ ] because it's [ ] [ ]
What about compoundnounsthatrunlike this
Something here about the glory of native bush even tho
you have never been beyond zone 3 on PT
Add doleful '....' Beckettian misery here
(Phew, your 20th century Lit Minor was not a waste!)
So winning so woke you never even zzz
Rhymes r for babies, you gotta put your ass - on - ance

DISRUPTING THE DOMINANT NARRATIVE IS DOPE
More is More is More
Now work in a simile like a metaphor
boa constricting
a riddle
@&%%# looks good doesn't it?
— Thuy On
Spelling B minus
Therefore I, a person of reasonably bred Letters
would be keen to participate on a probationary panel,
As a respected nobody, if I were prudently asked,
and comment on the processes of digital spelling
of words which scroll across screens, large and small,
in Digitalopia, when moving fast is never fast enough,
when prose shifts like windblown desert sands, bringing
bad editing, according to the sirens of English prose
and bad spelling, according to the Macquarie dictionary.
Though the message is gained, the meaning is lost for,
'an ederdly pesedstrian was kiled while walkin his dog'.
It could be that the distraught editor went missing,
On account of the pedestrian being her dear father,
And there was none competent to take her place.
Otherwise, it is a matter of why the gent who died
Be given the dignity of his tragic circumstance,
And the off spelling in the message be made right,
Before it is broadcasted for all the world to see.
