Poetry Friday -- A Meditation on Creativity

Ars Poetica
By X.J. Kennedy

The goose that laid the golden egg
Died looking up its crotch
To find out how its sphincter worked.
(punchline here; rhymes with crotch).

    This poem seems to have been as popular as The Excrement Poem by Maxine Kumin. (http://readingyear.blogspot.com/2006/10/poetry-friday.html)

    I thought this one was wildly funny and the other one quite poignant.

    I'm alone in my thinking, I see.
