Writing Comic

I've spent the week trying to polish off some poems and a manuscript for a chapbook.  I finally sent them along. Now I want to unsend them. It's always like that for me. The worst is when a book comes out, and I want to rewrite it. I dream of the day I don't feel like this! 

Gwendolyn Brooks, "Tea Real Cool"

 I was playing with the first line of this poem by Gwendolyn Brooks: 

THE POOL PLAYERS. 
 SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.

We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.
