This is what I did for this subject:

I MURDERED MY ENEMY

It was a fly who flied so fast
I could not catch him when he passed.
For three whole days I hated more
Until I woke up, starting war.

And then he moved in front of me,
And zap - the hands my weapons be
Just swat him - crash onto the floor.
So now this enemy no more!

Now in my trash he is disposed,
And I'll keep doors and windows closed.

I need a huge red pen to correct the butchery of the English language in
the doggerel you just spewed..



I'd not call it spew or doggerel.

As a general rule, poetry has a carefully controlled verbal structure. The
metre of the poem, the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables, and the
sounds and modulations of the words themselves all affect the subtle
meanings and feelings that the poet may be trying to convey or evoke. Poets
may distort normal prose patterns for the sake of form and therefore assume
poetic license; it is solely a matter of aesthetic judgement and sensibility
as to whether the alterations enhance or detract from the total effect of
the poem.
