6.3 - Recipe for Best Poetry
Ingredients:
B.E.S.T. = Beauty + Emotions + Smartness + Technique
Preparation:
"Cogito, ergo sum", had said
The wise René Descartes.
"I think, therefore I am", it means.
He thought that he was smart.
But for some clever poetry,
The brain is just a start.
The Edgar Allan Poe-try
Had horror, fear, and mystery.
Technique that makes hands blistery
With always something twistery.
When mister B kills sister E,
Histeria ends his story.
Both brain and skill are paramount,
But not enough for art.
To make a poem precious
It takes a lot of heart.
Best buy a box of happiness
And add it to your tart.
Image-in-paint a happy bird.
Just let it fly around.
Its colours brighten up the day.
How joyful is its sound.
With beauty, every well-done work
Is able to astound.
Your laughter in between the lines,
Your tears, your fears, your curse,
They travel with your work of art
Throughout the universe
To change, some way, your reader's day:
Your poetry, their nurse.
