Epic Proportions of Poems

Epic Proportions of Poems

While often writing and am here waiting
And my mind often has been hesitating
Which subject should be the very best?
People will like and no one does detest.

Why won't poets many comments make
That can cause pain with much heartache
Worry about subject soon to be chosen
Placing proper emphasis on their closing.

There are poets who prefer the profane
And this to many may be quite mundane
Off record and wall pulled from thin air
Who often won't give a and don't care.

Poet bruised by poem needs an antiseptic
When producing a proportion that is epic
As each poem will start paving the way
And prepared for what to write and say.

Poetic pace may slow as progress decreases
And can only remember bits and pieces
So if shiver up spine poem starts to send
This is what you did intend in the end.
