I Will Persevere Until I Get The All-Clear!

Grammarly is my friend and guide When poems spring to mind. Hundreds of tests let me decide On words found underlined. I know my prose can be revised, Improved beyond compare, More so than I first realised When reading here and there. In seeking to get the all-clear, On this, you can depend, I know that I will persevere Determined to the end! Ninety per cent at first looks great, Yet is ninety enough? We know that that is not first-rate! Ten more is what we love! So I must edit and recite The changes I have made, How else am I to make things right So I may pass the grade? In seeking to get the all-clear, On this, you can depend, I know that I will persevere Determined to the end! Denis Martindale, for the 19th of August 2024. Here is a poem about editing poems because that is not as easy as it looks. When we recite the first draft version we may need to make a few changes. Then we recite the latest new version! Eventually, when we feel we cannot edit anything else, we call it a day, and then, as they say, we hope for the best!
