The desire to write poetry, or at least acceptable verse, is almost universal.
The achievement of this desire may be gained by anyone,
without excessive effort. Almost everyone, at some stage of his or her
life, has yielded to the seductive siren, and has done his or her best to
write poetry. An adequate craftbook on versification is a necessity,
when the urge becomes unconquerable.
