Do you have a favourite poem?
Favourite is Shakespeare's Sonnet 116
Have you written one yourself?
Save to be heard, not read
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Selfless poets, forego your name
Write not for "I", ink not for fame
Ensemble your words, and step one back
Epilogue your purpose but don't retract
Poetry should indeed be written
Not necessarily to be read
Outwardly 'tis one's inner expression
Thoughts that rage before going to bed
Flee from the futile fugue of fools
Efforts wasted in sonnet's tools
Even the planes of rhymes and prose
Treasure the qualities, not the rose
Before the end, evolve your wit
Encourage not love, nor hate, just writ
