I took a paragraph from Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River Part I” changed all the words to words that rhymed, and then rearranged the pieces so they made a little sense.<\/p>\n
Why did I do this?<\/p>\n
I had to write my TWENTY-FOURTH POEM, THAT’S WHY!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
we pack<\/p>\n
mad cur advertised<\/p>\n
she earned crumbs<\/p>\n
tear now burned, cut<\/p>\n
wire shawl frays, sin drove days<\/p>\n
giving a hand, rum salve<\/p>\n
ensure wrong should bow<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
proper gnats<\/p>\n
back now, call, say,<\/p>\n
we plundered<\/p>\n
just play<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
