Poetry about Poetry

First.
Pen gripped tight - the symbol of might.
Eyes shut - against distraction, concentration.
Inspiration, to dictation.
Pen scribes, dancing eyes, expressive lies.
As if possessed - but blessed!
Simplistic rhyme, in order to keep time.
First.

Second.
Now they've heard, soften the words.
Smooth, as the pen moves.
Guide the mind along a groove.
Gently, gently - do not assume, make room.
Allow them to consume.
Second.

Third
Extend your art.
Reach towards the heart.
You can speak, but do not appear to be weak - unique!
Magnifique.
Your intent, it fills with fire, the mind is soaring higher.
Resonates, but do not allow debate.
Third.

Four.
Profanities.
Cuss words and sleaze.
Hit them rough, give it to them tough.
Discontent about what's meant.
Rhyme and reason roughly bent.
Alow their old perception to be completely rent.
Shock and awe.
Four.

Five.
Act - you've bound them to a pact.
Their minds assured, no longer bored, give them their reward.
Conclusion, repitition, remember your exhibition.
Don't explain - that's a drain - leave it to their brain, the same.
Remove the mask, finished your task, they only have to ask.
Five.
