Notes About The Poem

Change

Tentative evaluation of personal standards
Enlightens and reveals possible answers
Specific visual outline reduces
Transference of explanations and excuses

Discover behavioral actions to minimize 
problem areas that need to be scrutinized
Knowledge of character defects analyzed
enables change as awareness is centralized

Past experiences can be used to exercise
self evaluations for patterns to improvise
Trial and error results that are summarized  
determine changes that can be optimized 

Chronic, complicated consequences require candor
Warning they will repeat if there is any deceit
Trial and error is often bittersweet change from concrete 
Tentative evaluation of personal standards
