FIVE 17-SYLLABLE STRAIGHT-LINE POEMS

FIVE 17-SYLLABLE
STRAIGHT-LINE POEMS

1
He swore to go straight.
Armed robbery had him back
on prison-food lines.

2
The distance between
two diverse points?
The zigzag of the dragonfly.

3
On the corner of
Straight and Narrow,
think first before you cross the street.

4
Drunk or sober,
still he managed
to walk the straight line
without stumbling.

5
Though he could not draw
a straight line,
he painted curvaceous
young ladies.
