The Education of a Poet 

By Leslie Monsour (b. Jan. 25, 1948)

Her pencil poised, she's ready to create, 

Then listens to her mind's perverse debate
On whether what she does serves any use;
And that is all she needs for an excuse
To spend all afternoon and half the night
Enjoying poems other people write.
