In poetry, a stanza is a unit within a larger poem, it glisten.                                 
This is what I have to say, but you don't have to listen.
If I wrote a poem today and you critiqued it as a four.
And in your heart you felt the poem warranted much more.
I wish the reader would just see the way I want them too.
I longed for a higher score, and didn’t my poem give the clue?
What does it take to get the words to flow like I intend.
Maybe it’s in the reading that the poem does not transcend.

From poetic words of joy to the arms of the great pretend.
Maybe it’s in the reading of poems that lacks that finish touch.
Writing a poem is observing my world from my hidden crutch.
I write about things from love to the crusty rust of old gates.
I asked myself, what’s a poet to do, to get a better score?
For if my friends, were good to me, I’ll have a winner's roar.

 

And even more, in winning, wow, I’d wipe my Sweaty brow
Inspired to get a higher score, I will become so adored,
I’ll write greater poems for you to enjoy, them when you score
If a poem scores a ten, I’ll feel compelled to keep a good rapport.

What the poets needs now is love and of course a better score.
Speaking as a motivated poet in the winner’s seat I’d better roar.
All poets give a yell or two, for what we all have done.
What does it take to get the words to flow and not get shun.

Just what ever you do just don’t doom my poem to hell.
In a very friendly kind of way, say what’s on your mind, oh well.
In a private message, my dear you say, it in an email. 
You liked it very much, as you give it another four, I’m assailed.
What inspired you to open up that old criticizing door?
I smiled, I looked at those words, the room started to slightly dim.

The flutter of butterflies in my stomach won’t let words flow.
The smallest things, would cheers me up or didn't you know?
By giving me a rose or two or a cyber an ecard would do.
Sometimes all it takes is just a smile to change somebody’s day.
The feeling behind motivating, no one knows what is that glue.
The dramatized in a poem, what conflicts or theme does it presents.
What world' is the poem set in, does it deserve more content?



Does the ruthless editing of every cliché-ridden verse, show
I've got rhythm but is scoring a writer’s bad luck or a writer’s curse
Could contrasts and comparisons between each verse facilitate a coo.
The comparisons between these sets informs the reader throughout.
The read would be a delight and give a score to any poet’s delight.

Look at the meaning of the poem, is it obvious or not?
That the main idea of the poem was kinda all left out?
In consistent images, metaphors and similes of the poet's tools throughout?
I read this poem, appreciate, understand & analyze it without a doubt?
Or what does it say about juxtaposes, do they evoke the readers readily?
Are the values and basic ideals of the world, are they truly expressed?

Verse four takes on a whole new form as far as the syllabic pattern goes.
Now that I understand those terms, I read aloud and let it flows.
Sometimes all it takes is just a smile, to make the poet day, when it rough.
Emotions show conflicts introduced, sustained, and resolved stuff.
Using words that draw you into our precious world, it helps one evolves.
As the reader feel compelled to read aloud, the poem has re-birth.

I write about things from my world from the crusty rusted old gates.
I asked you now, what’s a poet to do, to get a better score?
Think as you critique a poem or two, I’ll have a winner’s roar,
Or you can read aloud and laugh at it when giving me a score of four.
