(I do embrace what I disdain)
Not everything pedestrian rises above
the prosaic and will profundity embrace
simply because it is imaged in verse
trading a suit of plain cloth for one of lace.
Nor can poetry transmogrify the Auteur
who with bland nib of it did writ—
when with palsied brain he did conceive—
turn from the dullard into the sharpest wit.

Note: As this piece is too low to deserve high praise, and too light to deserve weighty consideration, I have placed it in this section; however, critique as you will.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
