Do I do poorly in that my verse
Will not often in metered rhyme rehearse
Some obscure reference to some ancient lore
That others have noted oft before?
Do I do poorly that instead
Of reaching back into my own head
To dredge up stories I have heard told,
Which in my inner mind I may still hold,
Use them as common reference for the lines
I write at too-far spread-out times?
Should I, instead of penning my musing
Through repeating keystrokes that don't sing
But offer syncopation under thought,
Rehearse the many things that I've been taught
By years of readings broad and deep,
And, in so doing, myself still keep
In elitist mode I did once seek
But for which, I have found, I am too meek?
