Poetic Mad Libs
I haven't been posting here the past two days because I've been otherwise occupied in a discussion on a mailing list -- a discussion that stemmed from the "woman" posts I made on this blog last week.
Here's the synopsis of my posts on the list -- fill in the blanks with what you think I said or if you already know what I wrote, come up with something better:
I didn't realize your poems and my ____ had so much in common. They both ____!
I WAS Ken ____. Then my ____ fell off.
Today's helpful tip: Chicks don't want you telling them they have a big ____.
I enjoy being a ____.
I refrain because I don't want to down in history as the Poet ____.

Nancy Milford, the biographer of Edna St. Vincent Millay and Zelda Fitzgerald, once said in a lecture at Bennington (I'm paraphrasing), "Every great woman poet has been at least one of the following three things: Single, Childless or Crazy"
So I guess I only have one shot at greatness.
Cover your crotches!
------------------
I'm just fucking with you. Who wants to be great? I'm in it for all the hot poet tail.
Mediocre poets live longer too.

I'm in it because I can't do math.
