[New-Poetry] Poem With Common Words

[TheOldMole]

I check in Turco's blog from time to time.

I don't suppose the ghazal would count. That's a certain word, not a 
word set.

Lew Turco was just ahead of me at Iowa, and gone before I got there. I 
was considered the most atrocious, inveterate punster of my generation, 
and Lew of the generation before. Every time I would get started on some 
really bad ones, someone would say, "You should have heard Lew Turco." 
And my reputation apparently reached him, too. When we finally met (in 
Chicago, at an MLA) it was like two gunslingers walking down main street.
