The Shape of My Art

I'm torn between two points of view, fretting that this little poem-writing I do is silly—no good—just wasting my time, even when I make a nice rhyme, but still it puts a cheer in my heart: It's just the shape of my art !

Woww that is extremely beautiful!! My favourite shape poem because of its simplicity and double meaning; I think this is the best. And the rhyme makes you want to sing :))
