Bukofsky Strikes Again

There is and there is not
A right way to write
A poem—

Which is like saying
Excuse me if I'm wrong but
Would it be
all right

If I just say “Fuck it”?

  1. Do I detect a note of despair here? Or is it exhaustion? You are so prolific Vassilis, maybe there comes a time when you too need a rest.

  2. Elisabeth,

    No despair, no exhaustion--just a little tongue-in-cheek exasperation with the myriad "schools" of poetics trying to tell us how poetry should or should not be written.
