Two Imagist Poems

     I'm an Imagist 

I'm wash'd up on the beach. I'm left out in the rain.
I'm placed, enwrapp'd 'n' ribbon'd, 'neath the tree.
I'm, oarless, up the creek. I'm dribbl'd down the drain.
I'm baked, en croute, with figs, into the brie.
     I've terraform'd the Moon. I've reinvented fire.
I've never met a debt I didn't hike. 
I've misspelt 'pantaloon.' I've drain'd the Grimpen Mire.
I'm introducing yet another Reich.
     I've grown a second head. I've join'd the D.A.R.
I've licensed new translations from the Greek.
I've learn'd to print a gun. I'm soon to cross the bar.
I'm something to behold. Here: take a peek!

     Rhymagism 

          (Pace William Carlos Williams)

So: so much
depends

on my rosy red
gamp

to defend against 
damp 

so no white chickens  
end 

as mad as wet 
hens.
