Working Poet . Workmanlike about each stroke, every slash, Worried That hard-metered rhyme will still satisfy. . Concerned completely with what others call Convention That true story is lost in overdone form . Counting the numbers, again and again, Careful That syllables, accents match line for line. . Betting on brilliance with each pencil mark, Better wish That, than accept occasional failure. . It isn’t poetry Unless blood’s left on stage. Believe that true st verse Makes love to virgin page.
Kevin, you're a POET, make no mistake about that ! No matter what form, what style, what subject....you, my friend are poetry personified ! This is but another example of your excellent talent with these words we call........."poetry" !
Kev, we certainly are poets who work our brains and hearts overtime; the only benefit is hoping one day that the verse will make a difference to someone's thinking, attitude, perspective, etc. . . .
so write until the keys fall off!
