All aboard!
what a literary hoard!
all those rhymes in a row
don't let them go
all those visions
verbal incisions
to set a flow
and create a reader's glow.
Show your tickets
you've paid at the wickets!
of the phrase incursions
welcome specialized word surgeons...
sometimes operating on terminal cases
of sentences on the recluse
of statements in abuse.
Next stop is at the poems end
around the next bend!
The poet would hang himself by a noose
if he didn't let himself loose
just talking a word here and there
as if he were grasping for air.
The train now stops for a quick bite
time to rest for the next write!
And the message, in the case of rhymes
is much like the masters of mime,
expressed with wide flowing body gestures,
creating miniscule hidden lectures.

WOW, you are on a virtual poetry train. Let it roar down these blue tracks, where all can enjoy writing and reading, without the attacks.

some 'attacks' may be constructive and meant to contribute to our mastering other techniques,yet I do believe as you that there has to be that freedom we have here where we can ask for it if we want to and deny it if we don't...we still live under constitutions don't we?

Martin - Very cool write.  You definitely rhymed the heck out of this one.  Really good.

A great great poem, Martin...and I do agree with you...poets need certain freedoms.
This could almost be the companion piece to the one I wrote called "The Poetry Police".
Fantastic job!

Dave,

mime to me is poetry without words..was at a clown worksop last year and some clowns train
well in mime.

Marsha

There you go we're on a train

Madme Chip,

I see a sutle reference to the goons of everypoet can be intuited from the last couple of lines, this is a repost though from
before.

Noah,

thanks for riding the train.


Mac,

the talent flows from all sources, and if you channel yourself to some inspiration it will come in due time...thanks for the complements but this is light stuff compared
to some other writes, and the stuff on other  sites too.
