I think that you've summed up the ingredients required to make the perfect poem. It's a lot like making good homemade soup. You get all of those delicious ingredients, combine them together, let it slowly cook allowing everything to come together just right. Then, you bring it forth. I really like this short but well written poem. Well done Dragonpoet!

I always a enjoy a poem that doesn't take itself so seriously. Sometimes others and the committee disagree. Well I did enjoy it and you gave it a perfect name.
Have a great night!

So is the poem, perfection sometimes just is not on the page but in the work. Your post however gives me a goal that I will struggle if I must reach, thanks for sharing.

A very well-written ABC poem. Each time we attempt to write a poem we hope that it will become a most precious master piece and we use all the tools we know to make it our best work ever.

Hello, DragonPoet

Cool nick! I have suggestions for putting in commas and period to make reading easier:
Be ready for creative work
Combining metaphors and meter (comma)
Designing format and rhyme schemes (the word 'with')
Emotion and images (word 'that' or 'flowing') flow through stanzas (period)
Making the perfect poem (exclamation point)
Just some suggestions.

Thanks for the generous rating and grammar aids. I was thinking of a comma or the word and after meter and a period after schemes. With the period, I would not have to change the wording in line five.
