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

Welcome, ugly cuckoo
There's plenty of leeway to stumble and ramble and splutter.
