What & How I write
( ) Sound print benignly small
To express oneself by stanza
ain’t as some may try purport
just merely extravaganza
but provides structure, support
While acts promiscuously ‘prose’
how virtuous pithy ‘verse’
While pontificates prose verbose
how quatrain reads quaintly terse!
Try verse if you must sound off at all
it keeps the sound print benignly small
—
( ) Writing rhyming verse shallow
I’m no Poet hifalutin
mere fellow meek & callow
who does his own in foot shooting
writing rhyming verse shallow
A superficial spin drier
of phrases falsely acquired
all dressed up in pretend attire
for yet a show uninspired
Propounds prim Poetry Fellows:
“Let’s send that Versifier
off to illiterate gallows
that foul, faux falsifier!”
Poem’s harvest hallow
serves up sumptuous
Rhyming verse wilts sallow
flagrance unctuous”
But though Poets opine with gumption
what if they’re sloshing in presumption?
