Word Feast

See the greatest poets of all time
the circus of poems had come to town
with many a form, verses and rhymes

People came to unravel the sublime
mysteries and myths came to be known
see the greatest poets of all time

Poems about nature, cowboys, and crime
people came from all around
with many a form, verses and rhymes

Windy verses of seas of brine
there were even quatrains on clowns with frowns
see the greatest poets of all time

Haikus, senryus, and ballads were fine
limericks on ladies dressed in brown  gowns
with many a form, verses and rhymes

If words were edible many would dine
a feast most satisfying and profound
see the greatest poets of all time
with many a form, verses and rhymes
