An Extra Word
 
  writing poetry
is the same as
making a cake
the slightest short
of sugar, more of
flour make it a
totally different
tasting cake

writing poetry
is like cooking
the noodle
your maturity
shows through
a little minute less
or more would
mean a different set
of noodle on your plate

a day more or less
of maturity slices
through the paper

making it or not
weighs so much
on actual experience
and choice of words
to portray one's
perception of world

an extra few seconds
of the noodle in
the boiling water
would actually render it
overly soft, unpresentable
and unappetising

an extra word
an arsenal
that might sink
that wonderful poem

john, Beautifully write, but I do not agree with you... This recipe very prosy for verses... Offended muses remains angry... Thanks for sharing. kindest regards, Tsira
