Poem-making advice.

Use as much nudity as you have to.
In the poem, it's art. It gets a pass
- the raunchier, the better arguably.
Why pass up such chances?

During the writing process, hey
Nobody's business. Nobody needs
to know, but combine them both

- that poem will be so hot, people

will be like "I do not believe
the poet composed this

nude." It will seem too much
like some lurid and gaudy
dream of pensive flesh

quivering for words

Protest all you like
"Yes I was!" But some critic
will always insist: "no,

this was the work of
a clothed poet. Observe
the lines"

Fair enough. Maybe
you were

maybe you weren't.

Just so it gets in
the poem, that's

the main thing.
And as with nudity, so too
for anything else you put in.

Rain poem? Write wet.
Wind poem? Write tousled.
Sun poem? Write burnt.
Love poem? Write yearning,
or aching, or so fulfilled

you should stop. Writing
a poem, I mean. Bigger game
is afoot.

However you did what you did,
nobody needs to know
if you didn't.
