Call it garlic, hung clove by clove ’round her neck To ward off bad spirits and to fire breath; Each segment mood, a plight, a day, Prompting attitude to curtain decay. The poet is what words become when dress fills air and stage, The meter is what tows the mood; Feet can calm the rage. (All the while, the vampire waits backstage...) The words are strung around her neck, The scent guards its stay; Saved by sounds redecorating thoughts Stress removed by letters' play. Meet her in garlic, she sings her tease, Meter in garlic, words, if you please; Written, poetic ornaments are safe. Mood unstressed, a day's release. /- misce /- [This message has been edited by miscellanea (11-09-2006 10:17 AM).] |
