Masterclass
It’s no use showing me poems about music;
I’m tone deaf.
There’s nothing wrong with that one,
just needs more brilliance.
Yeah, you’ve written a shocker there.
Having died you never completely come back.
I had a rehearsal for the big stage.
Great poem. And full of love.
* Don’t use tired images when you feel
you are at a crucial point.
Don’t crowd the idea. Have confidence
the point is made and
ask yourself
has this poem got hungry pockets?
—Paul Mitchell
