Two roads

Which chosen

Black trodden, I think

One less traveled

For whom the bell tolls

Doth protestin'

We be cool

We teach school

Cool We Die soon

cause

Caged bird be singing

Not no Poe raven

evermores

Or nightingale

Full-throat odes

This bird be fly

Cuckoo nestin'

Farenheit 451

Screaming

To be

or not to be

What is the question?

All of it reads

Jabberwocky

Ay, there’s the rub enjamb

Discovered

Rose-buds gathered

while ye may

Marry Tarry

No difference

English Subject

[don’t tell my husband]

Look aside

I don’t remember where

The brackets go

Or what completes blanks

I can’t recall

Who quoted

What paraphrased

Which genre

cited needed

I know nothing

Other than Rage, rage

I see only light dying

.

Two roads

Diverge in yellow wood

Which chosen

things unknown

fearful trill

plagiarized original

made all the difference

in submission
