My Worth
Revealing creative scholarly zeal
surely devoid of grammatical flaws
well-written; thus, granted excellence-seal…
I’m the muse critiqued by your teacher-laws.
Form-compliance, syllable count??? alright
perfect lay-out presentation --- no doubt
marked by unique taste of stylish insight…
I’m the piece in your perimeter’s route.
Exposing heart’s angst, guilt, gloom, faith and bliss
midst peace, love, joy, hope via God's truth-glow
my theme bursts vividly no one can miss…
I’m the poem along your requirements’ flow.
I’m my dear poet’s masterpiece, indeed best
Judge not* my worth, blinded by bias-pest.
*John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
