As a user, I'd like to comment on your poeme, powerline! (a) 'devine' should be 'divine' (b) you said work AND toil... that's a bit redundant, don't you think? toil means work. (c) who writes in pen and OIL? (d) I suggest: "who toil and think / in pen and ink" (e) I can't get the rhythm with the last two lines. It feels as if line 5 should be removed, but then it wouldn't make sense. Perhaps replace the last two lines with: "to inspire new believers" or something.

Nice suggestions. I should have finished this more before putting it on here. You're on the mark 100%. I was trying to make a link between old poets who "toiled in oil" and new poets who "work in pen" The last two lines suck...I've got to get them fixed.

it sucks (the poem) the spelling lacks as well.

Welcome aboard, sir. You know what needs to be with this piece. Suggestion: Look up Christofs'
"To a sculpter".
