Jennifer, thank you for the links. Some years ago I wrote about 150 poems. Two-thirds of them are enthusiastic drivel. I believe the other third have potential but need more work.
I don't share excerpts from my novel. But below is a poem I wrote yesterday.
Oh and Simon Armitage
Carol Ann Duffy and Shakespeare

Its concept is the meaning of poetry.
Poetry
Heat of Imagination,
Images of life.
Rhythmical Creation of Beauty,
Misunderstood Pleasure.
A Speaking Picture,
Uniting Pleasure with Truth.
Begins in Delight - Ends in Wisdom.
Blossom, Fragrancy.
