Self-Parroting Parody

We see you and raise yet another disparity

From the forthcoming, Future Sutras: A Decade of Anti-Poetry

Self-Parroting Parody

When it comes to both haw and hem

The reader is every writer’s problem

Sometimes one must console them

Even going so far as to compensate pro tem

Else pro forma devolves mid madness and mayhem

From where do such transgressions stem?

Like it or not, this here’s la crème de la crème

Wend your way through our broken system

Dig deeper in the rough to find the rarest gem

Then adorn your crown with that florid diadem

Hell, let’s take a moonshot aboard the Apollo LEM

Because hey — dreams should defy any earthly REM!

Author’s Note: The structure of this anti-poem is a ‘dodecad’. In other words, twelve consecutive lines composed of similar rhymes.
