Wednesday's Verse - To the Writers of the Mandatory Readings
This week’s verse moves from a Crapsey cinquain about vampires to a poem I wrote while in university. It is taken from 366 Days of Poetry, a
collection of mixed-genre poetry released in 2016.

To the Writers of the
Mandatory Readings
Theory
schmeory
give
my head a break.
I
don’t need your Realism,
or
Constructivism for God’s sake!
Literature
schmiterature
from
which one do I partake?
Each
one is so tempting,
what’s
not to love or hate?
And
for those writers
who
are concise,
whose
words are clear and sharp,
I
lend those bright, rare creatures
a
place within my heart.

You can find the first two poetry
collections at the links below - although there are plans to reissue them with
more genre-appropriate covers in the future. The third collection will be
released later in the year.
