Poem #6: Write a No-Sentence Poem

Write a poem that is six to sixteen lines long and contains no grammatically complete sentences.

If you want, you can punctuate fragments as complete sentences.

Make your final poem six to sixteen lines long. Consider dividing it into two or more stanzas.

e. e. cummings "r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r" could be an example, as could Chuck Guilford's "A Perfect Circle."
