No Formula For Genius Poem by DM W

No Formula For Genius



O there are countless
Formulas for creating
Standardised flowers
Of beauty! There are structures
Within structures and
Chemical elements of
Colours. Yet I guess that
Goethe was correct, when he
Stated, that Nature is
Not a system and those who
Think this way are mad.
Or as Blake once prophesied:
'Improvement creates
Straight roads but the crooked roads,
Lacking improvement,
Are roads of pure genius! '
Thus, blazing words can
Illuminate poetry's
Pages in a way
That defies explanation.
