Poems Are Transparent
Poems Are Transparent
Poets said it is apparent my poems are transparent
As an intellectual quality seeming to be inherent
In each poem of mine being written by me
What should I do to make poems much better be?
Could start by verbs correctly conjugating
Be patient when writing and longer waiting
Never do create poems discovered despairing
Make full of feeling and people for caring.
Doubles negatives make sure you denounce
On dangling participles be prepared to pounce
Even if difficult, damnable and very disturbing
Bad and belligerent language should be curbing.
Remember adjectives pretending to predicate
And adverse to adjectives after having fill of it
If for correct grammar at table you are pining
Should start serving some sentence outlining.
At end of poem all these factors are combined
Composure of poem is well-defined and designed
After each effort error dropped off and did disappear
You became either Frost, Browning or Shakespeare.
I forgot and did leave out my other two favorites
who are Ogden Nash and Will Rogers. Combine
them all together and that is what my poetic
prowess consists of.
