impart. Your poem appeals mot
alone to the brain, for sentiment
colors and shapes your refrain.
Your POEMS rainbow, with rays
that are new, like a window for
lighting up pulpit and pew. Each
word is a fragment Of glass in the
whole; window that giveth soft
light to the soul.
The story is told about the old
days when the designer of church
windows was an artist, there was
boy working in the shop who asked
for the fragments OF glass lying
about the floor. These he took and
loaded them together into a beauti-
full window that caused his masters
to marvel at his artistry. Poets
deal in words. These they select
for beauty, harmony and expression.
The rhythm, tune, harmony, meter:
call it what you will is the dull in
conspicuous lead that holds them
together. You need a vocabulary.
IL you have no large dictionary
handy, get one. Your dictionary
should have at least ninety percent
of the words you find in cross word
puzzles. Consult your work book as
the minister should consult his
Bible. Know the pronunciation,
the accent and exact shade of mean
ing that can be expressed by word.
1t makes big difference whether
you oversee or overlook what your
boy is doing. Evening is sprightly
and lively, while night is dark,
ominous, oppressive. If you can't
sing, learn to hum. II you cannot
dance, try to keep time with your
foot. If you cannot think, don't
try to write poetry.

es your ratiocinatory ruminatiOnS

There is an even closer affinity be-
tween the fine arts. Music, dancing
poetry and painting are very close
ly related. A real poet will be found
to have a marked ability to appre-
ciate allied arts if he does not have
a streak Of genius in more than one,
The child tries his best to sing
his poetry, while the stupid blunder-
ing school teacher does her best to
kill all his poetic instinct by break
ing up the "sing song" and com
pelling him to read poetry like
prose. 1t can never be known how
many mute inglorious Millions have
been diverted to be fishermen, fire.
men, farmers or failures by these
school-ma' ans. Normal schools
should not issue displomas to any
who cannot sing eve got rhythm. =
When youngster has poetry in
his system it may find outlet
through his toes. That shortest OF
poems: the one about germs: "Adam
had 'em," is expressed by the SIM
plest, right left of tap dance
More stately odes are like the min
uet. Livelier themes suggest the
Virginia Reed. II it is poetry, there
is dance step to fit it; poetry OF
motion to accompany the metrical
ideas.
The amateur poet will not attempt
to be finished painter at first. He
will learn the technique of the car
toonist. A half dozen lines; but
these the essential ones; can sug-
gest a picture. The lights and shad-
cws are filled in by our magma
tions. So the poet chooses the
strong words; the ones that can
suggest all the ''filling" that goes
with the thought. His lines are
the framework for the completed
structure in the readers mind. As
the poet learns more of his work he
can soften his outlines and fill in
more and more Of the lights and
shadows.
If you have the urge some nice
verses to write, and wish them
well pleasing to ear and to sight, it
will be needed to heed certain rules,
but poetic genius isn't made in the
schools. You should have some
thing to say; something important
to say. With some inspiration to
say it just right; regardful of tune
and time when you write, then
words will take beauty arranged in
your lay.
If in the writing it warns your
own heart, it will be easy its glow to
