“Secretly, deep down,
everybody on Earth
believes they can
write poetry,
apart from the members
of the Poets’ Guild,
who know they can’t.”

Elfje:

join
the guild
become a member
do what you can
artisan

Haiku:
.
the lakes calm surface
boats gently drifting along
summer welcomes peace

Poem:
.
just another day
attempting some frenetic foreplay
happenings in the life of the ordinary
pretending to be the good fairy
trying to justify their existence
never ever going the entire distance
.
their immutable style is passe
off to church every Sunday
one never expects the corollary
high school sweethearts they did marry
always following the path of least resistance
years of mostly compatible coexistence
.
only their preacher knows how to pray
a few sad hearts when they passed away
to good morals they were never contrary
the quality of life is usually arbitrary
happy to live a life of adequate subsistence
those remembered gave the most assistance
.
to the piper we all must pay
never ever overextend your stay
from the straight and narrow we must not vary
the easiest target hit is the one that is stationary
to be extraordinary exercise some gnarly persistence
while pretending to be the poet laureate in residence
