Genius Born To Break Rules Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

slant rhyme corrected
poetry teacher corrections
stuck in muddy rules

the great and genius
are born to break rules
mainstream adhered

seasoned esteemed
recognized poetry teacher
had taught his poetry

classes for decades
basking in certainty
of set academic rules

inferior gerund form
not to be maturity used
in verse perfect line

please do not
embarrass him
do not mention

masterful classical poem
'The Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner'
one of the greatest poems

ever written
penned to paper
dramatic verse

immediacy of active
masterful gerund form
infuses genius verse
