Burn One Half Of All You Write Poem by Patti Masterman

Burn One Half Of All You Write

Rating: 2.5


Slicky-slick lines and capitalization
Won't win our adoration,
And restating old facts, time after time-
Just reading; we have lost a dime.

Tired themes, worn out cliches
Will not brighten up the day;
Burn one half of all you're writing-
And maybe half of that, enlighten.

Yes, that's what I wanted to say that instead of sticking to old and obsolete themes, we should try something new. Very good observation. A thought provoking write indeed. Thanks for sharing...
