Transforming A Bad Poem Into A Good Poem
(tinkering & fooling ‘round)
It may take days, months, years:
You tinker.
That’s the key.
To definitely not linger,
But go ‘way, come back, go on
To see with psychic opticons
(my own construct-ee-on) a vision
Of’ creative options,
Freedom new,
A fooling ‘round that’s new for you –
And you are new and changed a little;
Flexible, unbrittle-ized,
(another word vocabul-ized)
A new-sized you
Wherein you see the tool in all,
And all’s a tool.
You’ve fooled around
Just as I’ve done
With word and sound,
And lo, a sound and solid poem transformed
From
Bad to good.
PS
With eyes revitalized
You’ve seen creative possibilities that revolutionize…
You are one might say, well revised
Wherein you see life as a tool
To take the mundane to the blissful.
