Realism


What are you doing

I am reading a biography

Of F Scott Fitzgerald

Did he write it

No that would

Have been an autobiography

It was written

By a number of insects

Living in the rotting trunk

Of an old tree

I did not know

That insects had such a capacity for language

Neither did I

Do you think that this line works

Not really

It is rather long and unbalances

Your rather ambitious poem
