Genuine poets are wordsmiths.

Every single word they employ

Is syntactically correct

In the construction of their work.

Superfluousness is taboo.

They remain steadfastly focused

On the essence of poetry

Which is its elemental soul.

When you read their fine poesy

Each line, each stanza comes alive

Where heretofore were lifeless words

Occupying reference books.

Only the masterful poet

Can breathe life into each dead word.
