The Wordsmith
I am a Wordsmith
I love the words I play with
I respect the fith
I am a poet
Sometimes I hardly know it
I try to show it
Five, seven and five
How I make a Haiku jive
It keeps me alive
Then there is the rhyme
All about meter and time
Do you have a dime?
Sometimes I'm a mime
A run on poem's a crime?
It is but sublime
Where's the sense in this?
Where's the pretense for poet's
Like me, there it is...
That does suit sir
Are you absolutely sure?
The suit that you wore?
We're loosing the war
I don't mean to be a bore
Safely at the shore
I never abuse
I dissect he words I use
Make them more obtuse
A wordsmith my friend
Slow to start but fast to end
I have time to spend
Time is on my side
I have time to take a ride
Nowhere left to hide
Bring me my arrows of desire
And bring me my chariot
Of fire to serve sire
Yes, I'm a wordsmith
Pope Wordsmith the Fifty Fith
I need meds forthwith
Meeting of the minds
I don't color in the lines
Where has flown the time?
Sometimes I do rhyme
But don't take that as a sign
Sometimes I do not
October thirteenth
Demise of the Knights Templar
Couldn't be simpler
Give me liberty
Or give me... something to eat!
Said Patrick Henry
Time is running out
Now what am I on about
There's no need to shout
Poet on the run
I do hope your having fun
I've more lines but one
Rhyme the syllable
If you are agreeable
It's not horrible
Oh, It's a mad house!
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
For a boy and girl
See what I have done
Demanding your attention
It's all just for fun
How grows your garden?
Be careful where you're fartin'
Benjamin Franklin...
I have no pretense
You've read my run on poem
Sentence by sentence
Ah, one more refrain
Now that you have toured my brain
Can you still be sane?
It's my requiem
My doesn't make sense poem
Bit of funnery
What could you lose on
By reading my confusion
Now it's no use son
But now I but jest
And I've given you my best
So now I must rest
I'll put down my pen
And stop the torture my friend
Now this is the end...?
