I had this idea about Helicopters and Where’s Wally but when I wrote it the thing only came to 60 words. So I indented it a bit and made each line of equal length and it turned into a poem. That’s basically what Poetry is. The Poem is called ‘This is only a Poem Because it’s Short and Each Line Begins with a Capital Letter.’

60 words. Hmmm. I say cut it by a 1/3 and leave out all the pronouns, the connecting words – and, the, or, because – basically so that it’s just a stream of half-connected ideas.
get rid of the capital letters. translate it into french using altavista babelfish. translate it into german. translate it back into Ingerlish.
Now, my friend, you have a poem. leave to cool on a wire tray for 20 minutes and publish.
I thank you
