William Wordsworth Receives an Email of Rejection

 

Dear Pronoun-of-Preference Wordsworth:

 

We have interrogated your poem about daffodils

And can only regret your lack of filtering

For post-colonial non-binary tropes

And gender-vulnerable intersectionality

 

The daffodils appear not to have been consulted

With regard for their self-affirmation

Which suggests patriarchal guilt through your

Hetero-normative stratification

 

We find your daffodils ruthlessly aggressive

And your masculinist constructs, yes, regressive

 

We wish you success elsewhere. Anywhere

Go away
