PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

such sweet sonnets esteemed

from a recent past time

quite mercurial today

still are their rhyme

an aged yet younger

methodical composer

garroted away

behind satirical walls of leisure

express facets of such forced passion

censer not your preferred opinions

like that of a foolish

czar

ripe yet rampant is the on-gazer

so cloaked in his melancholy's muse

a mere vain Harlequin's garb

would fit ye I fear

quite the rather loose

so come, my dear quaint sir

kick off such stale and so smothering

cloth

stare the blood shot eye of the bottle

and despair down until naught

and refuse Heron his passage unto frenzy

leaning down further into sloth

for true success can only be

when the finest of all journeys one takes

ends up being the ones in his very own mind.........
