Lim'Rik Flats Salute To Real Poeters

from down on the flats we can see
high-on-the-hills poetry
sonnets like mansions
sestinas in stanchions
they fill our dulled hearts with much glee

Sometimes your off-the-cuff lim'rikery astounds me. "I also saw lyrics playing tune..." What a line! Of course, we all know a REAL POET lives inside the limercist Tim. GO ORPHANS! (Wiki is full of good stuff;-) ~ j

I know I'm not even close to a great poet. I disagree with her below because she's an amazing poet. With that being said this is a great tribrute to the "real poets" ( yourself included) :') Alexis
