Past Artists Build Build Build On Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

remember a previous American Literature professor
who believed contemporary poets could experience not
original thoughts had to build on classical established

literary works of past artists build build build on all
that recognized has come before bullocks pull carts
no no rage against such views conceited ripe parodies

be a desert in isolation
become an oasis of startling
thought manifestations
