I could take the world within my grasp, spin it, and write
eloquently
The moon could inspire many a romantic image and
phrase
I could speak of the depths of the sea or speak
philosophically,
Or write about almost anything, to leave most of you
amazed
But, here and now, I choose to be just so silly, be just me
For poetry need not endure the pain and wrath of just one
form
Or subject matter, why must it always be of love, you see?
While variation of subject and style can be the new norm
Take up the license that each poet is issued and so carries
Utilize the changing roads and the directions for your
course
Take your time though, for writing is better when
unhurried
As your words will fall in place and stay a natural force

Yes indeed you can impress, yet you are inviting us to let be poetry be a ‘natural force’ when ‘unhurried’ and ‘flowing’. Either is lovely when you post…
I love the challenge you poem presents. Explore all possibilities, dare to take a different path, find what treasure may lie hidden. As the old saying goes "variety is the spice of life", and you have certainly spiced up life with this gem dear friend.
Agreed! Although I think Love will always be poetry's most popular subject I believe as writers we should always explore other subjects and forms. Thanks for bringing up this topic as we all need a wakeup call once in a while. Always take the time to perfect the poems we write, or as W. H. Auden once answered to the question," What's the secret to your success?" He replied, "Revise, Revise, Revise."
Well spoken, as is your poem. - Phil A.
"take you time though, ...."
