Frank E Gibbard Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The poet’s pen can be a mighty Yet subtle weapon of the mind Paint like an Old Master’s brush Punch with venom of a fighter Go gentle as dew from a flower Pause before the yawning void Hover as did the bard-held quill Put to page some poetic words In passing age by stab of stylus Progress to process its successor Modes are refashioned for a time Freely written or lines that chime Poets will and ever still compose Eras mores forms metamorphose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
