Rule #1 - If it meets all the other rules to be a Perfect Poem and if it is a quote, that quote will serve as a standby until the perfect poem is found.
He came up with rule #1 because he realized the prose he wrote that night was more a quote then a poem.
Rule #2 - The poem must be memorable and be impactful. It must make mankind better.
The quote he thought of that night was as follows.
"The door to happiness is opened with the key of honesty."
He knows this was a powerful quote because his arms were week when he thought of it and when it first entered his head he did not have a pen.
You see this was a good quote because, he knows he has the possibility of finding the perfect poem whenever he feels weakness in his arms; because, he knows there is a chance that a crystallized thought that may be the basis to the perfect poem may escape his brain before his fingers can type it down.
This emotion may be better explained by a poem he wrote in the past as follows:
I must always create
If I stop even for a moment
A unique thought may be lost forever
This is my tormented fate
So this blog experiment started a few hours ago on October 31st because I posted on facebook and twitter the quote mentioned above. If this quote is followed on facebook by many it must be impactful. However, it may get lost in all the other banter on facebook. This alone will not stop the quote from not meeting rule 2.
I also posted tjis quote on twitter because this quote is perfect to my spirit because I sense it should be impactful on others but if it is not that is okay. You see I get satisfaction enough from writing my prose but also know I will never get the adulation I crave until I find the perfect poem.
Rule #3
This poem takes those who read it one step closer to finding the path to a peaceful spirit.
A part of your spirit leaves with them
To be restored once again on your next meeting."
The rest of this blog is about what he was thinking when he was inspired to write the thought for the poem posted immediately above in this blog.
Well he was at a bar with some good friends for one of their wife's 40th birthday and one of his good friends he only sees on rare occasions was leaving and he felt a little sadness in his heart to see his good friend depart. However, he also felt very happy because his friend leaving inspired a strong urge to find a pen to write his inspiration for the poem above.
Feeling your fingers pulsate because you feel a good poem that is bursting out of your spirit is one of the most euphoric feelings on earth.
