It never occurred to me that College Board would recycle poems, what with the vastness of 'great poetry'.
On a tangent, what was the first poem in the 2009 AP Lit and Composition test called? The one about a girl working at a drive-in diner during the summer.

I think some legal and moral intervention is in order. As Ms. Bishop was on crack at the time of writing her poem, we have an obligation as AP Victims to inform both the authorities and her parents as to her deviant behavior.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bishop,
Your daughter was so high while writing her poem "The Imaginary Iceberg" that she failed to recognize the iceberg as real, and not simply one of her hallucinations. The dear little ship she spoke of collided with said iceberg in 1912, killing thousands. Maybe it's her method of coping with loss, but I strongly suggest you remind her of the ship's current home at the bottom of the ocean, and also that her iceberg was not quite as imaginary as she had thought.
Sincerely,
- A victim of your daughter's hallucinations.
P.S. Please, also, tell Elizabeth that her iceberg was simply a chunk of ice and has long since melted. A cow probably quenched its thirst with a chunk of her iceberg, and the rest of it likely became snow cones, which were then excreted by little children into swimming pools and honey buckets. Essentially, her iceberg is now a river of sewage.
