Poetry is like baseball
In baseball 3 hits
out of 10 at bats
is great.
In poetry 1 good poem
out of 10 you write
is great.
But the Muse doesn't pitch,
play defense or hit.
She's a lucky break,
a friendly bounce of the ball.

Nicely done (from one baseball fan to another)!
Yep. You gotta see the ball, hit the ball, and get down the line as fast as you can. Just like writing. Nice. *
Best ars poetica I've read in quite some time.
Nice work!
