sometimes the reason your poetry sucks is the etymology (eat, my, logic – literally) of the words therein

poetry

billy the kid next door
rueben the sandwich i love
        but my oh my i despise the rye
billy rueben makes me baby yellow

frank billy’s dad
incensed how i feel around him
         why are stupid people so mean
frankincense fit for the king of kings

poe was dark and filled me with fear
tree three stories high i climbed as a child
        till i fell and hit my tailbone but did
        no lasting damage to my bottom
poetry ideas not prose but we dont know why

anyway

frank is totally incensed at the beautiful words
billy could use to write poetry about his awe-filled
        thus making it beyond aweful
regular rye wrapped rueben
