The Greatest Poem Has Not Been Written

The best poem of all TIME HAS 
NOT BEEN WRITTEN?
 An all time greatest ever has not 
Yet been written.
This does not  permit you to sit
Idling.
You should  stroll gently soothing 
Your soul while listening to 
Nature speak  with the crinklng rasping
Voice  Of autumn' s  fallen leaves.

The best poem?  The CHAMPION  MAY
exist  as a DIFFERENT, a foreign 
Tongue.  It might  be sitting  on a 
Shelf  in Zimbabwe,  Egypt or  Spain.
Whats more  it could be  in production 
This very minute.

Even of the  SMALL  hand of  a
Prodigious child. What is it to write 
A poem.  Truly, it is BORN OF
Emotion.  Tears  and sweet
Sweat  Of devotion.
A fire place with flames of 
Flickering.
Hot coco mixing.
Went a worth while cheerful day
Gliding now FADE.
The best poem should consist of
Much imagery.

And simultaneously be bright  then gloomy
In corners of the HEART it should  stay
Cozy in parts as it warms the frigid soul.
Maybe CUDDLY KITTENS  should set 
It's mood.
As the coldest winter blowing.
Those kittens at  LAST  have found a
Home and knowing the wealth of love
Overflowing.

What is the greatest champion,  unknown?
Must it be an eternal secret?
Oh, a stellar ambiance on a CHRISTMAS
MORNING.  AN authentic BEACON.
ALL friends and family a festive relief.

It is all done, now the night has come and
Newly  BORN.
The ambiance lay SEDATE  and satuated 
With lightly tasting Nog and rum.

What is the greatest ever?  Maybe it
Does not yet exist.
If ever a living poem did persist.
How will it be perceived?
As pleasant on a crumpled list?
As a PRESENT OR A WISH?
