Slowly pickled in a barrel of poetic monkeys*

(*thanks BW)

The assignment: Write something frivolous and fun and decidedly mediocre

The result: Deeply despairing poets eat too many Samoa cookies and

(1) Concur that this assignment was indeed "the most challenging ever. I declare, I just couldn't do it."

(2) Use the feedback phrase "palindromic tonalities."

(3) Write poems, seemingly all every single one about sex.

(4) Write poems that begin with love and end with kittens being eaten in an effort to get attention, as a snack. A kitten. As a snack.

(5) Scream out, "Laura Bush is a Bitch."
