Art's Best Season

Pleasure mid reason
Make art's best season-
A crown between,
A golden mean:
Play it as harp
Wield it on sharp!
Muse think and ease
With rhyme and rede
Let such traits please
And find good speed.

Stir me, store me
some poetry
a garland gold
of words enrolled
with truth and taste
touch on a thing
perfectly placed
like finger ring

What is a dream
Without a deem?
What is insight
Without delight?

Make love with lore
Make lore with love
So art can soar
to grace above!

I've been reading this for the past little while, and let me say first I'm not a critic in the sense that I think some of the more knowledgeable posters in here may be, but maybe my impressions of your poem will help you? Maybe not, but I still like trying to figure them out, hope you don't mind

Now, with that said, I like the flow of this poem, it is very lyrical and sounds pleasing to my ear when I say it out loud but I'm not sure that I feel certain enough about what you are trying to say to offer any in depth evaluation.... from what I gather, it's pretty much summed up in your first lines :
"Pleasure mid reason
Make art's best season-"
and then in your final 2 stanza's as well which make me conclude that you are saying..
combine pleasure, feelings, love and such things with reason, thought, and knowledge and beautiful art can be made.... one line that puzzles me is :
"perfectly placed
like finger ring" ?

I like this poem, but I keep thinking I'm missing something?

thank you.
I'm glad to know you liked the read.  There's nothing you're missing at all, but it is me whose missing the most important aspect, having a mate.  Not just an audience to write poetry for.  An audience means a lot to me, but a mate would gift and keep me sane.  It makes me hopeless.
"Finger ring" -I don't even know what I mean with that!

Nothing is ever hopeless Essorant, and that is the beauty of life
