The Modern Shroud Poem by Douglas Scotney
The Modern Shroud
Of the five that could have won the prize,
four are good for what they’re about
and any could have won
if the fifth was good for the same;
but ‘The Modern Shroud’ is the one that won—
big, all right, bigger than the others combined;
definitely done in one session;
not good for what it’s about;
good for what it’s not about—
for leaving a lasting impression.
