[stylist] Poem: Rabble

[Barbara Hammel]

I like it.  My only critique would be that it's bottom heavy, meaning the 
last two lines have almost twice as many syllables in them as the top two.
Keep it up.

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.



Bill Outman
