Some poems I’ve written are nonsense-i-cal <br />But I’m not buffoonery smitten <br />I’ve written some most common sense-i-cal <br />Which are not as quite dimwit-ten <br /> <br />Poems comprised of only levity <br />Should be more inclusive <br />A muses’ work should never be <br />Thoughtfully exclusive <br /> <br />To write with just frivolity <br />Is like eating just desserts <br />Poems written with just jollity <br />Significance averts <br /> <br />This concept should be heeded <br />When putting pen to page <br />It’s balance that is needed <br />Ask any writing sage<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetic-balance/
