sample poem from Butterfly Bones
that sounds like the beginning of a poem
At dinner tonight I almost bit my tongue
but I stopped myself just before I did it.
Then I proudly said to everyone (there were
twenty of us at table):
I almost bit my tongue but I stopped
myself just before I did it.
Then you said:
that sounds like the beginning of a poem.
a poem a poem
So I said it again louder:
I almost bit my tongue but I stopped
myself just before I did it.
Everyone laughed so later I wrote: at dinner
tonight I almost bit my tongue but I stopped
myself just before I did it.
