This Craft Called Poetry
Those who have no gift for poetry
Ought, perhaps, to learn to ski,
Or maybe take up a gentler hobby
For poetry requires much creativity
With considerable language facility,
Every poetic effort tests one’s ability.
If you don’t think so, take it from me
For I’ve spent years hoping to be
A master of this craft called poetry,
Realizing it takes a lot of mastery,
Someday I hope to claim a victory
With a poem making literary history!
