"I am not a poet I am jigsaw gypsy Breaking laws of rhyme and diction I am a crafter of mixed metals..."

“I am not a poet

I am jigsaw gypsy

Breaking laws of rhyme and diction

I am a crafter of mixed metals and

Mixed metaphors

Your high school english teacher would hate me

And boys would never date me

So I built myself a wall of books

Threw together line and hook

I’ll slip this note under my Sylvia Plath pile

and hope that you will be the one to deshelf me

But as I recall

You never were a huge fan of fishing”
