RAGE revision

Poet, be not daunted by the poems you cannot write:
A poet must work to find the words that flow.
Rage, rage against the rhyming that is trite.

And poet, though I know this thought fills you with fright,
Do not worry if your talent hits a plateau--
Poet, be not daunted by the poems you cannot write.

You may have reached a point where meter won't excite,
And then you must, to prove that you are still a pro,
Rage, rage against the rhyming that is trite.

When you are enduring absolute creative blight,
Oh, do not let this halt your song! And so,
Poet, be not daunted by the poems you cannot write.

Remember well those epics that describe the plight
Of ancient gods and heroes, battling long ago,
For they rage, rage against the rhyming that is trite.

Like those heroes, you must strive and fight
For a poem that will receive a cry of, "Whoa!"
Poet, be not daunted by the poems you cannot write.
Rage, rage against the rhyming that is trite.
