Matthew submitted his modern thesis
To all the facultative aunts and uncles.
Meanwhile, he licks tea leaves from his teeth,
Reclined behind his psychotherapist,
There to discuss his ars poetica,
Sweeping enamel like the sign of the cross.
“Yes. Yes, I know.
Pale blossoms on the breast
Amuse at best.
Rhyme’s better left to the radio
And twang to the whiney heart…..”

bluebellabout 15 years ago100 for the tea leaves on the teeth, alone. A sturdy little piece, simple but oblique and interesting. Also mentioned in today's poetry reviews. I'm glad you keep submitting!
bflagsstabout 15 years agoI loved this. The only thing I'd recommend is changing "whiney" to "country".
