A poem, as a faerie thing, Bereft of form, bereft of wing, Can yet with gentle music bring Delights to make the darkness sing. Elevating common prose, For pleasures sake, each poet knows, Gains by use of tools, as those He would, at length, I'm sure, disclose If payment were, perhaps, your ear Just for a moment, lent to hear Keenly offered verse - or beer (Loved by poets too, I fear). Most often those who are unwise Negate the poet's enterprise Out of a need to criticize (Perhaps within, their misery lies) Quite out of need to find a fault Regardless of which somersault Some poets use to try and halt Those satisfied with such assault. Unless you've written words as these - Verses made and meant to please With just a little work to tease Xenia coaxed from a's and z's - Your day lacks all that razzmatazz - as Zest for verse - and all that jazz. _____________ Xenia -- Webster's New International Dictionary (1932 edition) page 2357 xenium (plural xenia) a present [often given to a guest (or stranger)] Kevin |

Cool, cool, cool write. I really like this one. Especially Keenly offered verse - or beer (Loved by poets too, I fear). This poet sure loves her beer!! LOL If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Kevin~ Creatively wonderful~ Incorporated a lovely flow, form and remarkable content~ I admire poets who 'play' with words, thoughts and 'tools' of our trade. *Applause* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
