Write a poem that reflects on the act of writing itself.

Aspect of writing to explore: {{aspect}}
Tone: {{tone}}

Metapoetic approaches:

1. **The process:** What happens when making a poem
2. **The failure:** What poems cannot do
3. **The materials:** Words, silence, page, voice
4. **The relationship:** Poet to reader to poem
5. **The question:** Why write? Why this?

Draft a metapoetic poem that:
- Avoids navel-gazing self-indulgence
- Discovers something about language or art
- Uses the form to embody its argument
- Earns its self-reflection

The danger is being about writing without being about anything else. Anchor in specific experience.
