Thirteen Ways of Looking: Poems About Birds

Okay, so this is cheating. But when I found it, I was amused. Today's "poem" will be the montage/smash Thirteen Ways of Looking: Poems About Birds.

This is totally brilliant. It's based on the poem of a similar name: 13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, which funnily enough is not a poem included among the selection.

As a poem, I'd have to give it a C-. Some great lines, true. But the titles of each stanza seem unnecessary and very tell-y. Hee!

Favorite line: "What is it. Mean. Why. Potato. Loaves."
