Doggerel

Suzette Haden Elgin has been posting about what sf poetry is and isn’t. I enjoyed her doggerel, though I think I wasn’t supposed to:

“The Martian Dog”

The Martian dog sat on a log
deep inside a Martian bog,
threw its head back in a howl,
because it feared the Martian owl.

Her posts to date are here, here, and here.
