Notes About The Poem

Too Many Cooks Spoil The 'Agile' Broth

Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth

Too many voices cloud the clear design,
A single vision holds a better line.
When all attempt to steer the simple dish,
It fails to satisfy the hungry wish.
Adds a spice, a pinch, brings new ideas,
Until the true intention disappears.
The pot becomes a muddled, failed affair,
A consequence that no one wants to bear.

I kept the poem, but I withdrew from her contest, and I am looking somewhere else to enter my poems. Thank you.
