From a Reader's Perspective GENERAL
Second version of a readers perspective which is???
If at times,
Clock's hands
Were pushed back
For years as
one may assume
the computer existed
Just think how the Bard,
Would’ve faced the music,
To clarify his newer
birth of words
Not contained in the dictionary.
What power did he wield?
To use a word such as musify,
As it then had not existed.
The Bard I daresay
would have had an
explanation the way
All poetic critiques
Ask for nowadays
Thank God
I can hear him,
The bard, sigh!
Amen!
If times,
Clock's hands
Were pushed back
For years
And
Then one assumed the computer existed
Just think how the Bard,
Would’ve faced the music,
To clarify his newer birth of words
Not contained in the dictionary.
What power did he wield?
To use a word such as musify,
As it then hadn't existed.
The bard I daresay would have had
Any explanation the way
Neopoet critiques
ask now a days.
Thank God
I can hear him sigh!
Amen!

Interesting perspective
and work of free verse. I enjoyed reading it. Should Reader's in the title be possessive? Would you consider using nowadays instead of now days? Just asking...

As long as you add a spin
But don't make me spin,
I’m ready to be spun,
If for nothing else
But just a bit of fun,
Yet, incidentally where is the spin
From where do I begin?
To spin?
Do give me the fishly fin
So that I may rightly spin.
As long as you add a spin

This is an important poem.
I've never said that before, have I?
It adresses so many things, the changes in language, the effects of technolgy, the difficulty of comprehending the classic poets.
My only crit, which you use often, is referring to Neopoet. Your best poems stand alone and don't need to limit temselves to our little community.
cheers,
