Levity does have a place in poetry—
It has to be somewhere
Between having your head stuck
In the ground and your feet
Ascending in air.
Moderator’s comments: I felt so giddy while reading this poem that at first I thought Cinquor had written “feat” instead of “feet”—but then again, I’ve always been a sucker for puns—like John Donne—or should that be “did?”
or in slang: john don(n)e did it.
ReplyDeletethanks for the laugh.
Thanks, Andreas--always room enough for another punnyman.
