the panel have said
we're here in your head
judging your every creation
from where we stand
you're overplaying your hand
trying to move beyond your low station
don't try to be clever
nay, we say never!
best not to have anticipation
of things getting better
for just like wet weather
too much praise begets degradation
don't deviate from the plot
indeed, we say not!
the script is key to communication
your subplots and such
are a touch and then some too much
you plant roses when we ask for carnations
too much pie in the sky
gets you higher than high
you are a scandal, not a sensation
'Listen here, Man
I tried your plan
I worked to overcome my deviation.'
I said, ‘A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.
Riffing off William Butler Yeats
I left that stodgy court post-haste
giving not a fig about literary damnation
if I can't strike while the iron's hot
the story goes cold
I lose the plot
I'll write what tickles my fancy
although the panel may deem it too chancy

Prompt: Write a panel poem.
Mission accomplished!
Inspired by the prompt, I shamelessly ripped off this verse from Adam's Curse by William Butler Yeats.
I said, ‘A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.
