I like the indictment of prose

In my poems all of em

I suppose.

 

Bluntly crude as I am 

Can’t be sharpened

Hardened as a radiant diamond

Presently one may say an almond.

But many of my critics at times

Come to my door

To express

If I could improve

Just a wee bit more.

 

You are the first one

On that account to score

It’s heartrending

Sad, now Ma’am

You don't read

My prosaic poetry

No more.
