This is an example of a new poetry form called TREE. The counterpoints are arrayed as branches separated by the '<>' which symbolises the trunk. The lines (pairs pf branches) concern the same theme or topic. The first line in bold is the heading. The lines increase in length forming a triangular 'tree' shape.

Listen to poem:
Wordsmith
dour, drab <> embellished
don't recite <> read out loud
stop for a pause <> never stop writing
be difficult, obscure <> be clear express self
ignore other poets <> read many good poems
procrastinate, delay <> expedite, keep on track
wait till words come <> search for words till done
writing is a task, adopted <> writing is a pleasure, a calling
never be intiminated by editors <> believe in yourself and your abilities
write when you have opportunity <> write to a schedule in planned sessions
