Trevor Mcleod Poet Quatrain

From the Start

Each poem better than the last
I write them to improve.
But looking back should add to fact
that nothing's new to prove.

When all I write is soon passe'
for better works of art.
And all I know is what I am-
a better cheat of heart.

So what's it take to say I'm good-
to set my work apart.
When each new work gets better still
and cheapens from the start?

Part Two -by Trevor McLeod


Atlas!  I know what cheapens art.
The better piece of heart.
When all I know is what I do
is take a piece of start.

That each new thing is started from
a single work of art.
And that I do gets better still
when each piece weeps the start.
