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.
