Poem Title:
Poem
So, what is the best theme for a poem? No guarded secret, all themes -- Freely to Roam! And what, the prescribed destination or direction? Wherever the poet, himself, deems worthy of fond or pertinent affection – Poetic Theme (extended metaphor) So, what is the best theme for a poem? No guarded secret, all themes – Freely to Roam! And what the prescribed destination or direction? Only those fond and pertinent, giving affectionate-justification as reason for procrastination – to linger in a moment's subtle discovery – the courses followed only those which the poet deems entrancingly divine – he seeks heartfelt permanent encampment – or just an amicable pause, in a neighboring field, fertile for blooming enchantment; with his companion pen, to chronicle canorous visuals, fervently inspired – or simply folksy, lyrical rides; for the poet, alone, decides where his poetry lives or temporarily abides – (his muse, never far off – nearby, perhaps reflecting in the shade of a flowering fruit tree: heaped in petals, not trying to hide – more enjoying the velvety feel of an apple before the outer peel, though colorful, would be far too bitter for his present aromatic meal) – muse and poet, composing through a single eye. Writing as one: sharing new sights – sounds with scent – their mind dutifully toward poetry bent – shades of detail, mellifluously transcending common scheme and rhyme – incanting verse worthy of a brief performance, or immortal, blessed shrine – It's all fair, such dulcet affair! All subjects! All seasons! – preferring spring, in which to self-lavish and spiritually entwine. Therefore, his paths are fanciful, never truthful as definitive would define; often choosing glitter over harsh realty, yet can be a prophet and oracle if a troubling-time -- though never, a ruling class mime; – in this sense, he is a likable charlatan, a chimerical rebel...irreconcilable passion his soulful crime, therefore not ever exhibited, an atoning-word or act of sorrowful contrition – so loved by God, who gags at his counterpart, the lying politician.
