As I’m teaching my Getting to a Poem workshop this week, I am, as always, doing the assignments along with everyone else. One day we wrote poems based on places, so I browsed through my Scotland photos and decided to try to capture the immensity of Highland Cattle. A silly poem came out, which wasn’t what I expected, but…
Immovable
Shaggy cow
Saggy cow
Twisty dreadlocked
Draggy cow
Sulky cow
Bulky cow
Massive muscled
Hulky cow
Byway cow
Highway cow
Please get out
of my way —
now!
