Fridays will be unchanged so woot!

now with that out of the way, let’s get to what you came for: some fanworks!

Time Ars Poetica

I’ve known my great grandfather’s old saying

“You can do it fast or do it right”

I wonder if he was talking about poetry.

Poetry is something that needs time to grow

like a flower starting from a seed.

It must savored like a meal, if you eat it too fast

you’ll upset your stomach.

and like painting fine artwork

you can’t rush it or it’ll turn out badly.

As I’m thinking and pondering on my works

I take my time letting the poem simmer and cook

ensuring that the poem sounds good

its meat prepared as words on the paper.

I take my time to ensure the details match

like colors on a canvas that don’t clash.

When time is taken, a poem’s true potential

can be made.

Just remember an old saying from a kid’s movie:

“You can’t rush art.”

When that potential is made, it becomes a meal that one enjoys

a fine piece of work that is viewed by many

and a beautiful flower.

Only by taking that time, can one create good poems.
