Poetry is tested-

 

no line remains un-touched;

 

we smile at our fingered collections

 

of  verbs

 

and inflections,

 

of all the sorted conjunctions- 

 

all

 

the wrought phrases-

 

the throw-away rhymes

 

and

 

those simple expositions

 

that torch our lighted way

 

through those caverned wordy

 

mines.
