i am: clause defective

compound sentence challenged

structure/pattern destructive

declarative burdened

coordinating conjunction traumatized

open-hyphenated ellipsed

dash and dot sick

the pre-packaged and standardized formulas of creative writing 101 throughout the lands

makes my head ache      closes me up tight like a nightime bud

and all these birkenstocks in this town of illustrious degreed writing sisters

make me nervous                 make my words want to take cover and hide

make me wrong somehow

so i stay home and chuckle at the cookie cutters          and giggle at the methodology of wordsmithing

while waiting for the travelogue clips from my muse’s latest journey     away

she’s anywhere but where i need her to be most of the time…

the critics say “content is often good BUT it makes for a troublesome and distracting read”

try this or that…..

yet in the end, the inevitable:

i try nothing
