What the well prepared poet needs to survive

SECRET CODES!

Every poet should have one for everyday use, or perhaps for prose purposes only. My secret code is to reverse vowels in a word when they appear together. Here’s an example;

in the raeding arae

a librarain sat

in a craeking chair,

no cushoin to protect

her posteroir from

the hard wood.

Pretty good, ay? I hope you can work out what it says. The final word’s vowel reversal is particularly subtle.

 Or you could just typeset everything and NOT print it. Then only the truly left-handed would know what you were saying.
