Great Poetry Defines Our Essential Being Poem by Terence George Craddock
Great Poetry Defines Our Essential Being
'an overabundance...
the mediocre and inane-
is a poetry norm'
few poets
not even classical
contemporary masters
wrote only
exquisite
masterpieces
remembered
for exceptional
rare writes
countless
poems languish
unread
a truth universal
great poetry defines
our essential being
