The Perfect Poem Should Flow like Wind

The perfect poem should flow like wind

High up among cold themes;

It should be musical, and sing

Seductively of dreams.

It should be passion frozen, so

Solidified it burns;

Thoughts crystalline and shimmering

Out and in by turns.

Of all poems it should be required

Each word be clear and true;

A line that few can comprehend

Should not obscure the view.

Yet … first letters may speak, too.
