Does your Left Brain know what Your Right Brain is Doing?

Our current writing instructor introduced us to a new form of poetry. I tried it, liked it, and present below, in that form, a poem I introduced you to, in two different versions, earlier this year.

Being a Gender Minority The email advertised a poetry seminar Filled with excuses I overcame resistance and attended I was the one male attendee among twelve My response appalled me and made me proud Filled with excuses I overcame resistance and attended I was nervous about being a gender minority My response appalled me and made me proud I told them I came there to meet women I was nervous about being a gender minority The raucous laughter, possibly salacious, broke the ice I told them I came there to meet women And we went about the business of our day The raucous laughter, possibly salacious, broke the ice I told them I wanted to meet their kind And we went about the business of our day They knew all I wanted was to work with them I told them I wanted to meet their kind The email advertised a poetry seminar They knew all I wanted was to work with them I was the one male attendee among twelve

I like how this works.
