Distinguished Poems

Distinguished Flower Petal

Became distinguished each flower petal, 
And with many people they may mettle; 
Soil sticking; 
Some picking, 
Then laid on ground and soon did settle.

Distinguished Prosecution

DISTINGUISHED PROSECUTION

The more you look at me;
What do you really see;
For if I am all I am meant to be;
What are you yet persecuting me

Distinguished Genttlemen

The laurel wreath
Bestowed on victors
Every four years
Blood, sweat and tears
In Pythian Games
Honoring Apollo
At Delphi onto Greece
In a classic ceremony
The corruptible glory
An immortal crown
Prized to artists
Public officials
The poets of Rome
And here at home
A rebirth of antiquity
With Apollo's oracles
Music and poetry
Prophecy and medicine
Things of God as things of men
The reform defecient renascence
