Mad Poetry

Writing

by the number

in a chaos of kids

and life and news

and of course cats

seems impossible.

Wouldn’t it be great

to poem by number--

metaphor here,

enjambment over there,

or fill-in-the-blank

like Mad Libs

(no adjectives)

and voilà!

Your point is made,

beautifully expressed.
All done, well done, finis.
