Challenge
Poetic Licence to Kill
Recent entries and comments sparked me again to sabotage my own poetry. So the challenge is to part write something poetic, but at appropriate times destroy its rhythm or rhyme. I found this challenging (it probably shows ha ha!) but it's a really good mental exercise to deliberately take yourself out of the flow!
Police
You have issued me a task
and all of my you ask
is to write a rhyme
and I do this all the time
I could write about the moon
or the summer nights in June
But instead, let's play a game
and "Police" is its name
What's wrong with English prose
is amoung us there are those
who take a certain word
then redefine it, so obsurd
"Police" is one of these
to understand is a breeze
it's a verb, adjective, a noun
Heck, it could even be a town
How many times can you say
"Police" in a way
That sounds like a phrase
Here is one of the ways
"Police police police Police police policing Police police."
