The D-List
November 4, 2024 was the day before this year’s election from hell. It was also the first monday, which means Little 5 Poetry Bash. Last night saw five people in the audience. The emcee, the feature, the feature’s business manager, and two poets.
Manley Pointer was one of the supporting poets. With little new material, he sought refuge in the archive. The verses were divided into groups. Poems to be proud of. Poems of varying quality.
At the bottom of the barrel, The D-List reared its gnarly head. Doggerel that should be burned, but would release toxic fumes. Underground poems, that are so bad they need to be buried. Sonnets that would make the corpse of Willie Shakespeare weep. Iambs that would make the pentameter hide in shame. The D-List was the source that Manley Pointer chose this dark and stormy night.
