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.
