Art's Best Season


Pleasure and reason
Make art's best season-
A crown between;
A golden mean.
Play it as harp
Wield it on sharp!
And think and ease
To rightly please
O lifty muse
All whom peruse!

Stir me, store me
In poetry
A garland gold
Of words enrolled
With truth and taste
Perfectly placed-
Sublimebound pight
volumes of light.
A choice charming
for badazzling!

What is a dream
Without a deem?
What is insight
Without delight?

Make love with lore
And lore with love
So art can soar
To grace above!

Welcome back Essorant. Why don't you try commenting a little on other members' work? So far, you have 33 entries in this forum, only 4 of which are comments on someone else's poetry. Of course that is not a requirement but it does seem to help bring more comments to your own. Sharing of comments and observations is what makes the forum work.

Hey, sure you do. You have as much license as anyone here anyway. Besides, I have seen enough of your work and your insights, particularly in Philosophy, to know that you are capable of a pretty significant and valuable contribution to CA. Just come on and join in on the fun. We really are pretty easy going, well, most of the time anyway.

“ Well, some things have changed, haven't they?”

This is so funny. I thought the medication from the war was starting to kick in. Then I realized that all the date lines except Brad’s were from 03.

In fact I was typing the mother of all post when I decided to take another look.

Btw, have you ever ask anybody not to critique, well if I live long enough .

"All whom peruse"


I would never use "whom" incorrectly like this now a days.

Beautiful poem and how interestingly rhymed among short verses.  

what is the form? Even Sir Essorant wrote a free-verse.

Thanks Tom.  

Although me is loth to call it "free verse".

Hi Ess:  Style is the man!  You the man, Ess, in this style, which seems to be uniquely your own.  This is not a bad thing, and it works very well here.

Best, Jim
