Poetry in Motion
@Cap'n Rick today. Here's a little background on how it came to be:
I came up with a theme
I thought it up quick
But the grid was a mess
So I called Cap'n Rick
Cap'n Rick took it on
Without hesitation
And just like that
Here's our collaboration
"Poetry in motion" implies a certain grace or elegance, and I hope you find at least a little of that as you solve this puzzle. I can assure you that whatever grace or elegance you find is the result of teamwork, one of the hallmarks of this forum.
Speaking of teamwork, thanks to @Al Sisti, @Abide, and @Joe Ross for making this puzzle available to you!
With some puzzles
When you see 'em, you know 'em
This meta answer
Has to do with a poem

Very sweet. Nice and smooth! Like a monday should be (and oh my god what a sunday it was!)
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Off the couch. Nice one, Mark & Rick!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

There was a constructor named Woychick
Whose metas were smooth as a joystick
Collaboration with Mark
Was a walk in the park
An endeavor that I did enjoye (sic)

Very nice debut. I rise from my couch to present this toast in reply to your prompt:
With some puzzles,
As you start to solve,
Pieces fall in place
And your doubts dissolve.
