I have yet to write my greatest work <br />Pondering and postulating, in words diverse <br />Each poem ‘till then a mere rehearse <br />Toward the work of greatest verse <br /> <br />Honing my skills, I whittle and whittle <br />Each word cutting precise emotion <br />Cunning and comfy the context at battle <br />Yet narrow minded in its devotion <br /> <br />Confound and compound, lingual in texture <br />Twisting and turning, cerebral in gist <br />Latitudinal waving, shaking the structure <br />Laughing, crying, pounding fist <br /> <br />A secret meaning unread is missed <br />For in the text a message exists <br /> <br />And that! <br /> <br />Is the greatest poem ever written<br /><br />Marcus McKinley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-work-in-progress-4/
