Listen to poem:

A Poet's Deliberation

A poet’s deliberation; to place the words between the lines
Something sacrilegious; in their attempt to blow our minds

Playing games with metaphors to test the educated rhyme
Then left accessible to others over the great length of time

Parable’s placed upon us with their morals to quell our sin
Picked upon and plundered; to the hidden message within

The litigation of alliteration; with each start letter the same
When repeated over and over in the end drives you insane

Anaphora’s are repeated; as to reinforce its message home
Anaphora’s are repeated because I suffer repeat syndrome

A poet’s deliberation; to place the words between the lines
Something sacrilegious; in their attempt to blow our minds
