Poem B

What’s the equivalent of a gym rat

In poetry? Each night, your last book

before bed is often on how to work out

common mistakes in grammar, the power

of imagery and allusions, or how to show

and tell, “Oh, hell!” Let that soak in

as you break another rule you were taught

you had to know. As more time passes, you will find

rules change, but good stories ain’t wrong.
