Ending Up Being

Ending Up Being By me many times my poem was corrected So what if my poem were to be selected As possible, potential, purified poem of the day Then when it was what would other poets say? Either they liked or were highly indifferent to it Perturbed that some words didn't properly fit After either being out of place and also line Like should have been shone instead of shine. With your minds my poems may start to mettle As if boiling, bubbly water raising from a kettle And then at each elegant word did sit and stare Poem ended up adrift and floating high in the air. All poets finally put two and two closely together Never had been weather but instead was whether Poets now formally flew in formation of a protest What will make better poems become very best. Changes were made of an infinite magnitude That was corrected and could be properly viewed Made poem worth reading while many were seeing A Pulitzer Prize winner became and ended up being.
