Stout Affirmation–Kenneth Burke (Poem)

Whomsoever there are–
Whether enemies, than which there is several,
Or friends, than which there is few–
Here me of what I am speak of,
Leaving me promulge.

A great amt. of beauties emplenish the world,
Wherein I would o’erglance upon.
There are those which you go out and exclaim:
“Why!  How brim-brim!”

I shall be concerning sank ships
Throughout the entire Endure-Myself,
And may my foes become stumbled.
But I want you should, my dear, transpire–
Always transpire, grace-full thanlike one.

You, most prettier sing-rabbit,
And by never,
And lessermost from beneath not–
Prith, give on’t.

YES!!!

 

A Profile–Kenneth Burke (Poem)

mouse turds
not best of mouse

but best sign
of mouse

about this human specimen
know this one

honest thing
about him:

so crooked
he even found a way

to forge
his own signature

a rabbit’s tracks
are straighter

and if he is
where he says he is

you can be sure
he’s lying
