Slicky-slick lines and capitalization <br />Won't win our adoration, <br />And restating old facts, time after time- <br />Just reading; we have lost a dime. <br /> <br />Tired themes, worn out cliches <br />Will not brighten up the day; <br />Burn one half of all you're writing- <br />And maybe half of that, enlighten.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/burn-one-half-of-all-you-write/
