Yin Yang
Scott Michael Potter 1966 (Grand Rapids, MI)
About this poem
OK, so call me a dolderhead or insert your favorite pet term of endearment that is not too effusively offensive, but I accepted the challenge to write a one-sentence poem that hopefully was not too terrible of a run-on, and that also treated the subject fairly yet lightheartedly. It also follows my own clay creation of a large comma with an exclamation point, a period, and a colon, which I reasoned would make do if that was all I could choose.
