 Once upon a pasture of thyme There was a boy who lived in a rhyme He spun his yarns attached to a kite Until the day his wishes took flight His path was fraught in trails adverse Only in fantasy could he traverse Pages of footprint biding their sentence Chapters of tragedy born of repentance O season, O season the leaflets did turn With smiles of distance through thicket and fern A lad and his daydream married in myth Living on language now and herewith And whether or knot the passage was stormed Dramas were drizzled and farces we’re formed The turns would catch him a foot unawares A lunatic legacy comedy of heirs When will the scrawls of the scrivener give sound Branches of will low scraping the ground Quill of the chickadee scribe, of the call Notes of the cliff hanger edge of the scrawl No pennies for thought would help him amaze Nary a token to coin a new phrase Life is the poet of coward and fighter Shadow of ghost wrong full of writer Shattered reflections memoir of mirror Vision of cover hero of fear Once upon one lonely moment of time There was a note that continued to climb A boy and a breeze that carried goodbye Held by a string that he tied to the sky |

So many good lines, but I'm going with "dramas were drizzled" Yea that's really good, a phrase to be coined!  drizzled myself a few dramas, but that's another poem alltogether~ |
