A Writer's Invitation to a Reader's Response
-
- While love's a sonnet's customary spiel
- I will not write on such deep-felt affairs
- As those concerned with what the poets feel
- Instead I will reflect, without the flair
- Upon the form we lay our writer-eyes
- Do come, become the reader of technique
- Let's read ten syllables and scan the line
- Between the words, the not-said, take a peek
- You'll like or won't, but best, you'll know why so
- Since reading in this way is writing too
- In each analysis new details show
- That could suggest to you a new right move
- Watch the turn in our most humble story
- Read your stuff and yours is all the glory
