The Beauty of the Feast<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the wee small hours, past midnight<\/p>\n Here in the north where dark meets light<\/p>\n I wander into a room by chance<\/p>\n Where letters float wherever I glance.<\/p>\n Like one possessed I grab at them<\/p>\n Greedy greedy, snatch a gem<\/p>\n Letters unjumble, and form a string<\/p>\n Of words with a shape, a size, a ring.<\/p>\n At one I know where I\u2019ve gone<\/p>\n The wondrous place where poems are born.<\/p>\n They line up, then, poems all<\/p>\n \u2018Follow me,\u2019 a chorus call.<\/p>\n As I pass, the haiku bows<\/p>\n The ballad serenades with wedding vows<\/p>\n High-brow free verse looks and sneers<\/p>\n While the raunchy couplet winks and leers<\/p>\n Sonnets stand tall and proud<\/p>\n With an Ode who glistens white in a shroud.<\/p>\n But on I go, because now I know<\/p>\n It\u2019s that Musical note I must follow<\/p>\n The strains of a waltz defy all time<\/p>\n And there at last I see my rhyme.<\/p>\n A happy chappy, this rhyme of mine<\/p>\n I savour the joy of this final line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hour Fifteen \u2013 Write a poem about someone or something you have lust for.
