Discerning Poets

Discerning poets pluck from every kind
of garden, the perfect flowers that grow,
Tall and sun- kissed, beneath the bluest skies.
Those that are targetted by slow arrows
of Beauty, and not the quick- fix designs,
Of post- modernity, are worth the wait.
Sometimes, it's best to avoid obscure signs,
And absorb time-honoured symbols of fate.
