Ode To English Class

Dripping words

Tongue in cheek

You smile hyperboles

You breath in Irony

Spitting

Grinding

Regurgitating metaphors

So cynical yet eye-catching

The saddest comma would run

Hiding in forests of questions marks

Cutting down the tall exclamation grass

Slashing worlds with your sharp text

Poems to survive

Articles to take in

The damn red marks biting at you

Sucking your talent

But you go on

Fighting your way

Period, period, period

Flailing dashes

Speak! Speak!

Washington notes and sliced sentences

Don’t lie

Cut open your paragraphs

And feed your text.
