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!

chaos is its own

Satisfaction for every child whose rival is disorder

Bear The Perfect Lines

And blinding symmetry of Fresh snow

and they must scrape a

stick through the mounds or relieve themselves (a dog but not perfect) to PROVE THEIR EXIS tence.

Nature

Who made Us

and the World

And The snow

Made a child to replicate her skill with patterns

Made a child to peel at those patterns like bark on a Tree

and reveal

Chaos is its own—
