Poet's Diet
I doesn’t smoke weed;
I take rhymes and lyrics.
I doesn’t take chocolate;
I eat syllables.
The other day I was angry,
The I was told to spit a haiku;
No,I forgot it was a mono.
Because I loved chewing sonnets.
Bite your tongue to a ballade,
Remember others in the acrostic.
As they sway their heads to a lyric;
Because they had known an ABC.
Chronicle their rising in the bio,
And their falling in the elegy.
May repetition make them known;
As allusion completes the mystery of resembrance.
