Wandering expositions

Poetry has many inspections
each line remains re-touched;
we frown at fingered collections
of nouns and other stuff.
There are troublesome inflections,
and bleeding, wrung-out verbs-
the wandering expositions
of rhymes the metre serves.
There are stand alone conjunctions
in hope that it amazes
where
in solitude it functions
in contrived schematic phrases.

Tommy,
Why don`t you fix line eleven, stick another two lines on to it and make it a `with it` kind of sonnet?

It`s good.
