O Express...

O express the flesh and spirit of poetry; In flowing lines of metaphor and simile. Punctuate it with splendid alliteration. Let it breathe with soft assonance; and look upon It as adding vibrant colour to Creation. O complete what the spellbinding gods have begun! Structure every essential word bone and highlight Every pertinent syllable to keep things tight; But allow for imagination's feral light. Deploy all your senses; from sound and taste to sight. Be a world - shaker; fiery prophet; dream weaver! Make your poem enjoyable for curious readers. Accentuate its music and its meaning. Emphasise its grand themes, but make sure that it sings!
