Perfect Poetry
follow these guidelines
to make your poetry
really truly shine
make sure you don't rhyme
you're not in a nursery
this isn't kiddy story time
always restrict yourself
you don't want your poem in
a forgotten book on a shelf
oh, stay far far away
from this next poetry sin
the abominable sin of cliche
you can't write for you
you must only write for me
never ever forget to
obey these stone set rules
to write perfect poetry
you can only use my tools!
(Author's note: Forget the so called rules. Write what you love how you love to write it! Happy writing, my friends).
