of poetic reverberation

I saw him Well, I actually heard him Shouting POETRY HERE GET YOUR POETRY HERE SONNETS ON PARADE ALLITERATION TROTTING BEHIND METAPHOR MOCKING THE MOONLIGHT He waved his papers proudly Temptingly reciting snippets Spidery webs Inviting the unsuspecting To slow down To listen A few passersby gathered Chuckling at the idea Unaware They had succumbed Altered their paths Stood Motionless Mouths a-gape Mesmerized Ensnared In the gossamer tones Of poetic Reverberation

Imagine that! A brave soul... but not a bad idea, really. Nobody hawks newspapers anymore; there are so many sources to get the news faster and easier. Might as well hawk poetry. That's something you truly can't (and don't want to) get anywhere else... Extra! Extra! Read all about it!...
