Michael Mayhew's Shared Poems

Submitted by Michael Mayhew on October 26, 2012

all my first drafts are abhorrent
obese, vague, wandering,
and stuffed to the retch nerve
with unessesary adjectives

each one ugly as a
just-hatched cuckoo
naked and sticky with
bits of shell

an abomination
with beady eyes
and yawing beak
demanding to be
nurtured
