…to be one of the poets at the CBC Poetry Face-Off I attended last Friday, at which all the poems were based on the word “flight,” I’ve been wondering, what would I have written?
Something like this, probably…
FLIGHT
They asked me to write about flight.
I wonder, can this be quite right?
I sit in my chair–
I’m going nowhere–
No flight. No, I just sit and write. Right?
No flight. No, I just sit and write. Right?
I’m sure I could have beaten the actual winner, Robert Currie. What’s the Poet Laureate of Saskatchewan got that I ain’t got?
Besides the ability to write decent poetry, I mean.

Liked the poem! Sounds like something that I’d write.
