Introduction to Max

Last night, at Spoken Word Classes – with Missie Peters, we wrote introduction poems about other people.  (We were given very limited time and the expectation was not perfection.)

Words have always intrigued Max

Memorized a poem as a way to relax

His name is not short for anything

Fiction is the genre to which he’ll bring

Tales of all the careers he’s researched

Cook, actor, teacher, skills are perched

On the tips of his fingers & deep in his mind

Storybook couplets are a way to unwind

Literary shelves is not where he’ll be

Fiction, just fiction, for Max “short-for-nothing” D.

(This is my October 30th contribution to Poem A Day October.)
