Poet Starts With P

Poets often pontificate
In their particular poems
By punching words into 
Pre-determined form

Plying on rhyming
Placing their phrases 
In perfect presentation
With proper punctuation

Perhaps to receive 
A few platitudes
Possibly some praise
For its perfection

That's me, in a nutshell, except I am no good on the punctuation, a belting poem, and so, dot on . . . ; )

Jan, please pardon me for my lack of punctuality. Did I perceive alliteration in your kind comment "perfectly penned poem"? Glad the first stanza made you smile:) Warren
