One Poem in the Style of Another

I believe I was asked for a poem in the style of Emily Dickenson. I comply. I did not say, however, that I would not be irreverant.

What – is – that – thing?

Why – is it so – odd?

A Wookiee on the landing –

For – the love of – God –

Close – the – door –

Why not buy – pyjamas –

That is what – they’re for –

Please – do not be as – obtuse – as –

Bits of wood – a flat-pack shed –

No – the hyperdrive – does not

Go there – the instructions said –

Oh for God’s – sake – go to – bed –

  1. Yes, irreverent is a good word Sam! I think this has potential to be a rather interesting pastiche.

    BTW, given your interest in science (and ergo equations, perhaps?) what are the chances of you becoming better friends with the dash? :0)
