To artistic integrity <br />I make no claim <br />Rhyming eccentricity <br />Is more my game <br /> <br />What pops into my head <br />Is written down <br />Never sure what's ahead <br />Be it verb, be it noun <br /> <br />I've been laden with doubt <br />By critic dissenters <br />They are so devout <br />These nitpick tormentors <br /> <br />When my poem is all done <br />Not completely a sham <br />I've written my fun <br />Artistic integrity be damned<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/artistic-integrity/
