Rejection


 Rejection


He came home 

To find the lines

Strewn across 

The lawn

Down the street.

The garbage man,

Rejecting the rhymes

Refused to carry them

To the landfill.


He gathered them

Quickly,

Burning them in the

Old syrup kettle

The smoke taking them

Quickly

From the landscape 

Once again

Free of poetry
