Analysis of Chief Poet Officer, CPO Navy

Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)



The Chief of every line,
I run that whole paper,
not one word will take off
without my signature,
directing words in books.

I can take any word
apart and I mean put
it write back together,
a Poet with Mind Craft,
backbone of Poetry.
