Mis-spent youth department or, of hockey and (bad) poetry

[ed_rex]

"Thanks" to mijopo I found myself compelled look up a poem I wrote for my high school writing class. It's a bad poem, with lurid, somewhat nonsensical imagery, a central metaphor that gets displaced by another one, a strange use of the letter y in place of i and, generally, no evidence for an ear for poetry whatsoever.

But it amuses me almost as much as it embarrasses me. If you care for a peak into one of my not-so-good early writerly moments, click away.

you're welcome! Had my archiving been better I could probably dig up something similar I'd written for Mike Palmateer.

A! the shame of being literate Canadian boys

Well, if you find it, I'll certainly read it.
