Dead Poets

The glass started with the words,
I make no plans to teach you how to write 
Like Cliché Lord byron that's not romance.
Shelly was the biggest Cliché of them.

She referred to them as the Cliché dead poets
Who had nothing to offer and nothing to teach.
When I asked her do am going to learn forms
And rhymes schemes?.

She asked the group, 
Does love come in over use rhyming schemes?, 
Does love come in verses and stanzas?, 
Does does I love you mean anything?. 

Not all poets are dead clichés
