Let principles of Occam shave your mind
and let the poet shave your very soul.
Do not let metric verses intertwined,
intimidate your thoughts and take control.
Parsimony that’s woven in a verse
is not a ploy to stymie or confuse.
A poem is not a sacrificial curse,
it’s only but the figment of a muse.
So read a poem for only what it’s worth
and let its image flow within your heart.
Conceive the seed of poetry as birth
and hold it close for it shall never part.
Just simplify the art and don’t forget
that metaphor's not meant to be a threat.
