Poetry aids I use. Long time for me to learn. Thought it appropriate as a free form. |
| Poems need not rhyme Nor follow structures stiff But flow, off tongue, off eye To bind the mind and ear As the famous sculptor sang Each marble piece, a statue clear Imprisoned there such beauty fine Thus just remove unneeded stone Unrivalled art reveal Your poet’s job is just as clear Cast off the words that block the mind Review, review my poet friend Edit every word and line Again, again, and once again Until the truth shines out Your duty next, Each poem aloud Reveals the flow, Your faults will show Edit every word and line Again, again, and once again Until the truth shines out A day, a week, a year Each poem aloud Edit every word and line Again, again, and once again Until the truth shines out I hope these words may you assist As they have helped me to Clearly cast emotion For me and you and you Hope this gives you pause to think Good luck, Bon Chance, Write On!
