Literary Architect

Were I a literary architect

I'd sketch myself a noun

tag each verb electrically

to a coffee colored ground,

 

A fevered pitch upon my roof

window treatment lace

a paragraph of curb appeal

up a spiraling staircase,

 

As a literary architect

I'd support my prepositions

with upright nouns at either end

without much repetition,

 

In a sellers market - use my verbs

perhaps a metaphor

landscape every consonant

to plant a bidding war,

 

A lucky horseshoe driveway

so I'd never change a tense

a small conjunction swinging gate

to pass my picket fence.
