Reconstructing the Discourse

Scintillating muse providing inspiration Jettisoning convention for innovation Scuttling old patterns without expiation Countermanding discourse with new creation Alternating rhythms for lofty oration Imbuing myths with crafty animation Ennobling verse with majestic simulation Abridging meter with stimulating catechization Utilizing parody to intensify gratification Brandishing riddles with crafty illusion Burnishing irony in stunning profusion Instilling prose with deeper alliteration Suddenly, faltering in my bridled station Confronted by seamless repetition Disrobed of all callous pretension Jaundiced at my mindless ambition Reconsidered sages merited position Re-read Homer, Virgil with more appreciation Studying Shakespeare became new avocation Bequeathing to the ancient bards greater approbation

VERY cleverly constructed Steve . . . sometimes when we run with seems the right rhyme and meter has to change midstream and stanzas alternate for poetic license and the telling of the narrative . . . Loved your poem Must read some more when I get time
