What is the Perfect Poem?
What is a perfect poem?
Is it meter? Is it rhyme?
Yes, it can be both of these,
but just not all the time.
I think perhaps there's more
to writing like a Bard.
It is not at all a catharsis.
Writing can be hard.
What it comes right down to
when using pen and ink
is controlling your emotions
when you tell us what you think.
Do it with intelligence
don't just throw your words around.
When all is said and done,
how does your poetry sound?
And when you've written well
and you're putting it to bed,
then go back and revise it
and listen to how it's said.
Are the thoughts you wrote now clear?
Have you said it the best you could?
If there is nothing else you can do,
relax - and call it, 'good.'
