Poetizing

May I state with all humility, ‘Tis not for the faint-hearted Poetizing requires ability, Entering a territory uncharted Sometimes hard to get started. What calls itself a poem, I say, Often differs from a poet’s idea For versifiers often play, Like mixing a new sangria, While readers sigh, mama mia! Written August 18, 2022

Unless the poet has the idea first and for many reasons it may be, when it comes together splendidly. Love the metaphor. I'm with Caren keep it. It works for me! ~Anaya

Thanks for your comment, Anaya. I re-read the poem after your comment and thought, "Did I really write this?"

Hank, if you make any changes, please let this part stand as is "For versifiers often play, Like mixing a new sangria, While readers sigh, mama mia!" - it is perfecto!

I sort of like that, too, Caren.
