Flinging The F-word

I suppose some of you versifiers
think the use of the f-word
puts that extra zing
in your lines

You think the truth is as crude
and coarse as your writing is

You abandon all standards
convinced of your righteous
intent

You ignore Emily's rule-
'Tell all theTruth but tell it slant-'

Emily Dickinson's
metaphor for
her lack of directness
is the stuff of poetry
