Do you know how to tell a good poem from a bad one? It’s easy. I can teach you.
Just crumple up a sheet of paper and throw it into the bin in the far corner. The bad poem never reaches it. It will always drop somewhere halfway, rebounding off the rim then rolling beneath your sofa. Argh! And there you go, swearing, to pick it up and toss it in from a little closer.
But the good poem always makes it. Hell… now you’re groaning and you have to go over to the bin to retrieve it. But, did you know… you can choose to forget it instead. Just leave it in the bin. Don’t worry. The really good poem will never leave your head. I should know. I’ve checked.

That’s a great way to describe life in general, too. Anything that is trash/ useless gives you a hard time about being thrown away. Yet it is so easy to throw away something good.

That’s a good point actually. It makes you stop and consider everything you do before you do it really.

Though it’s funny the last para is actually true. A good poem or prose never leaves your head.

Cool analogy! You are right, the good stuff never leaves your brain, it swirls and twirls maddening you until once more you have to write it out.

You know nothing Jon Snooo.
😀 Or you can post a poem and see how WP community reacts to it. If the commentary is two scrolls long, it is good and if you only get likes, that way you know you messed up. Much more easier than playing basketball. 😀
