how to make a poetess - ttinue [ter]
add a pinch of travesty
you'll need to stir somtimes--
then beat the dough
relentlesly--
sure to get at least a rhyme--
fold in three softly beaten eggs--
drop now dreams of love--
bread her heart quite
heavily---
verses steep from lips uncovered--
let her rise to simmer, then whisk---
blanche her for effect---
a touch of passion
inflicted---
hear now stanzas begin to connect---
grill the lady til golden brown--
always sure to baste--
put in lifetime's miseries
occasioned--
watch the poems begin to take shape--
cream together the butter and flour--
salt her aching soul--
sift in two cups resielience--
unprocessed--
THE FINAL DISH IS NEARLY DONE---
clarify all remaining tears--
toss them in with her--
garnish with chilled empathy---
unsweetened--
this muse is now ready to give you words...
