On my MA
a bloke with a PhD
and several books under his belt
said never to write a poem
containing the following words:
shards; crepuscular; liminal; preternatural; cerulean; verdant; dappled.
He also proclaimed it
the height of laziness
and indicative of
a total lack of imagination
to write a poem
about the process
of writing a poem.
I guess I won’t be submitting this
