Twixt Yes and No

HOW COMES RHYME, A VERSE IN TIME
WHAT CAUSE A POET SEES
JUST FOR HIM A TOKEN HYMN
THERE'S SOMEONE HE MUST PLEASE

IT COUNTS FOR NOUGHT BUT POEMS OUGHT
TRANSCEND AND BE FOR GOOD
PERHAPS INQUIRE FOR WHOM A CHOIR
SINGS OR IF IT SHOULD

THE POET STILL CONTROLS A WILL
THOUGH IT BE NON OR SENSE
FOR POETS KNOW TWIXT YES AND NO
DWELLS ALL THE DIFFERENCE

You are saying something I always think, David. "POEMS OUGHT TRANSCEND AND BE FOR GOOD"
