So What Are Your Likes In Poetry?
.
.
I like the striking image, I like the original, 
I like the epiphany, I like the deft,
I like the elegant, I like the wondrous, 
I like the pow! I like the oh! 
I like the ow, I like the yes, the oh yes,
     the oh hell yes, the no, the oh no and
     the no, no, no.
.
I like the fuck you, I like the fuck me, 
I like the kick ass, I like the oomph, 
I like the holy rip, I like the damned straight,
I like the heh, the haha, and the mwahaha,
I like the wow, I like the whoah, I like the whee!
I like the hot diggety, I like the zing,
I like the rant, I like the crank,
I like the risky, I like the gutsy,
I like the thin ice, I like the out on a limb,
I like the definitive answer.
.
I like yeah, I like the uh huh, I like the tssssah,
I like the ooh ooh ooh damn I wish I'd written that,
I like the I could have written that,
I like the I never could have written that,
I like the how'd they do that?
.
I like the walk, the run, the skip, the jump,
     the swing, the leap, the reach, the catch,
     the juggle, the dance, the splat, the pour,
     the wiggle, the wangle, the wrangle, and the whomp.
.
I like the get it, the got it, the good,
     the can you, could you, will you, would you,
     the give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
     now.
.
I like the stun, the pun, the fun,
     the how, the why, the now,
     the lift, the soar, the flap, flap, flap
     of the poem that almost fails.
