When I Knew Nothing

Sometimes I miss the days When I knew nothing About poetry. My mind was full of Potential then, A world of infinite Possibilities. Now it is shackled By the iamb and trochee, Cuffed by meter, Metonymy and rhyme; Squelched by silly Alliteration, assonance, Consonance, and call-backs. When I knew nothing I could write anything And call it poetry.
