Analysis of Poetic Art
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Crafting a handful of worthwhile verse
Is born of despair, discontent, and worse
Illusions fading, leaving stark truth
Only then can we pen a worthy proof
Not all are meant for this poetic art
Some will struggle, while others play their part
Reading too, is not for every soul
Those treasures found by only a chosen whole
