Annie Lloyd-Hyde
A Final Fling
Before I Fall Apart
An excerpt from this book:
M.O.T
My poem is due for its MOT
It sadly failed first time,
They found excessive metaphors
And a tendency to rhyme.
Its modifiers were ambiguous
And had to be replaced
Alongside font and indents
No longer in current taste.
Rhythm, metre, context
Were described as rather regrettable
But the death knell for the rejection?
My poem was far too accessible.
