Ode To Emily
I have decided to post Ode To Emily online under a Creative Commons Licence, inspired by the Masterclass with Cory Doctorow.
I wrote several short poems during 1988 (angsty teenage years) about Emily, in Emily’s style. To this day, I cannot use the em-dash without sparing an affectionate thought for her.
The Ode contains some lines, I think I have not bettered since:
As possible ally
With my borrowed gait
The Fraudian charge
Of Imitate -
Of course, other lines are real shockers.
Enjoy!
