Poem- “To Write a Poem”

“To Write a Poem” 

Let me tell you how to write a poem.

First, you must purchase a “poet shirt” from a hotel for a million dollars.

I want you to purchase it for a MILLION.

And, then, you must wear the poet shirt for 24 hours.

You must do this or all hope is lost.

Okay?

Then, you must sell the “poet shirt” on eBay for… 2 cents.

Yes, that’s right!

You have to sell the poet shirt for 2 cents, or, 2 pennies.

Free shipping, free handling, free delivery, at no extra cost.

Just 2 pennies.

Do you still know what a penny is?

I hope so.

Or, if you’re not American, use the official money for your residence.

Next, after you sell the “poet shirt” for 2 cents, you must write a poem.

Yes, that’s true.

You must write a poem about the poet shirt.

You must write a poem about the poet shirt you lost.

You must write a poem about the tragedy and horror of it all.

You must write a poem about 1 MILLION dollars and 2 cents.

You must write a poem about the money lost from unique emotions.

Unique emotions are a requirement for real poetry.

Only then, can you become a poet.

Why?

Because you write a poem.

And, because, you are a poet without a poet shirt.

You have become the butterfly from the crop.

The “crop” (poet shirt) is gone.

But, you now walk as spiritual to independent design.

You can write a poem without the poet’s uniform.

You are now, really, and, absolutely, a poet.

The poet shirt was just a label.

Today, you “know” the price of forgotten romance.
