Proficient Poetry Poem by John Sensele

Proficient poetry craft depends not just on crude drafts
But on feeds that meet needs other poets supply
In terms of quality and quantity on tried and tested rafts
Where poetic devices of every magnitude and attitude their trades ply.

Proficient poetry craft imbibes rudiments and supplements
From vibes elicited, incited and emitted by promoting poets
Whose efforts of all sorts in all ports and implements
Combine into a line of fine signs to provide phytoplankton diets.

Proficient poetry craft never develops away from inputs
Other poets supply to immerse poets in rivers where muses
Heighten creativity and originality in terms of outputs
To fire up poets to write poems no matter how short are their fuses.

Proficient poetry craft under no circumstances
Grows in rows of eminence and salience unless poets by necessity read
Works of master poets of the past and of contemporary poetic sciences
Who guide the way forward for quality poetry and its wings wide to spread.
