Little Errand (Brian Teare)

Little Errand by Brian Teare

This poem is long and non-linear. It's not sentence-like which is perhaps odd since it's all about grammar. It's also not a funny poem, though to write about grammar, verbs and nouns, is pretty unusual and seems to call for lite verse.


It's clever, but it also doesn't impress me overly. Not my style. Oh well. Still I can appreciate the neatness of it.

Favorite line: "The way / the river banks / its flood, floods / its banks"
