[stylist] Poem: Rabble

[Bill Outman]

Good day again.  

 

Following my discovery of the Poets & Writers mag I was inspired to write a
short verse.  

 

I was reading an article on debut poets and noticed most of these folks have
an M. F. A. degree, which made me feel a bit out of my league.  So here's a
short ode to those of us who don't have all the formal training but still
find creative inspiration.  

 

I am of the rabble.  

My words may sound like babble.  

Sometimes they have the spirit of a rebel, 

And stir the waters as if a tossed pebble.
