A Critical Byplay – Ergo, Tangent of Poet

First, you must go here…
/pip/Forum28/HTML/001099.html
In order to truly understand
what this poem is all about…

But, let me add a small prelude to the main part
of my own in CA…

So many come, yet they fall ~
by mighty pen they’d stand so tall
yet commiserate? T'is not their claim;
they seek, by God, their own sweet fame…

~*~

And if right be all writ in verse,
I take my friends by their own curse;
for I in free-est verse shall stand,
yet learn among the learned hands...

for I would not among you say
that all is but just one way;
I hold you all so dear to heart!
and I, a mere poet, shall not part

nor divide my soul among this ken
who woulds't amuse, by poet's pen
no, I shall hold you all to bear
the standard of a poet, rare.

My give to you might be too long...
but my heart? my friends, is yet too strong
to see division of what is best...
for we've not Shakespeare himself to wrest.

May I admire all that you try?
May I laugh, and find the cry
in how your words strike deep my heart?
For I, a mere poet, shall not depart.

~*~

You read before you words I write-
See before you my soul,
spinning on waves of thought,
painting memories of time

Well, first of all, 'tis fairly said
that all words here are closely read.
I think CA is worth the time
one spends to work upon a rhyme.

And if you write in free-est verse
You probably could do much worse.
So share your writes with those who care
enough to judge you, if you dare.

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

The work of language deserves our greatest care ...
