HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE A
GOOD POEM

--------------------------

1.) I wouldn't. For All Poems should have soul.
and I wouldn't want to judge another man or woman's Soul.

2.) But I gather a good poem should "rouse" and "possess or illumine the
SOUL."
and I wouldn't want to judge.

3.) It should touch the Heart and make it CRY, make PRIDE its Slave and The
Devil its maid.
and I wouldn't want to judge, how Good or Bad it is made.

4.) But I reckon it will make you Laugh, and Lie.
Lie to the SOUL that Hides expression in the Cellular or Dungeon of "Masquerades"
for the Totemic Animals
masked & Concealed, are the True Natures Afraid to be revealed

And I wouldn't want to judge you like that, and No One Else wants to be
judged like that.

5.) TO DEFINE A GOOD POEM: Is to Define GOOD. Colored By My—experiences and
Hope, and
So a GOOD Poem WILL DEFINE me!!!
