Life is a Poem                   words by Bob MacKenzie                   music by Ian Revell Life is a poem you write yourself But it seems you are always copying Until you reach the point where All your metaphors are lost and Your similes are someone else's And you want to say a word like Well...      like... Glom!      or Gomblefizzle.      or Hingumbly?      but You get scared and write another Metaphor. published: Alberta Poetry Yearbook, 1969                 The Creative Urge, 1972                 Salt, 1973                 Ball State University Forum, 1974
