"Practice aims for perfection," by Darlene Franklin

Practice aims for perfection.
Do and do over again.
Pause, take time for reflection.
Repeat, do over again.

Poets, don't get discouraged.
Fluency flows from edits.
Make room, others encourage—
sometimes you share the credit.

Whatever you contemplate
will change before the final.
It's no surprise—compensate.
Prepare to change the dial.

Words that seek to mutiny
may spin back on their axis.
Searching for sweet unity
takes practice, practice, practice.

Congratulations, Darlene! I enjoyed the use of punctuation to manipulate the flow and the encouraging message for fellow poets. What a fun example!
