First draft/ Epilogue to “All the secrets of a wudby poet” Take the time to see How a poet creates and plays Tiz a little different from other books you may have read Okay a lot different I mean whoever heard of a poet telling anyone how the magic floes ice up in midsummer or metaphors taste in early Spring rolls of joy? Well that’s how it started. What this book does is explain in not so horribly boring detail How and why the poem on the facing page was conceived written spoken changed edited and almost finished. Almost finished being the key that unlocks and opens reader’s minds Most of the time, not always there’s a double or hidden meaning (a wink at Fate’s green eye) So come on in and take a gander Let your feathers fly. Read the poem first. Then how it came to be Then read it again. Does it flow? Is there a break? Why? There’s barbs and hooks and sweet rewards for they who would be better poets Ask any critic But have care. Some would suggest improvement to God if She happened by To some poetry is feelings expressed so well the reader feels them To others it’s a peaceful scene to share For me it changes with the mood but underneath it all I am doing my best to get us back to Eden To leave this world a better place than when I lived here And hopefully to nudge a couple more along that loving road
