Ricardo wrote poetry with much flair

One hundred love sonnets we now see
and essay "Toward an Impure Poetry”
Plus the honour of a Nobel prize winner chair
I know a fine gent named Bartholomew
Quite a literati, I promise you
He always finds a way
To read ten books a day
Barth, how can we possibly honor you

A literati once told me
the difference between a peasant
and a pheasant is only 'H'
I replied, the difference between
symbols and cymbals is known only
by 'a' literati 'ess,' you 'c'

I can't type anymore
My fingers are sore
from typing too many poems
So I'm buying a boat
I pedal, it floats
My fingers in lotion I'll stow 'em
Who wants to be tired
Caffeine keeps me wired
Tell the literati that I will show 'em
How to escape
sans Houdini-black cape
With a DIY cruise on the ocean
when poetry is
obsessive… compulsive… argghh
... transactional

Listen to the forest in the depth of one’s mind
and craft arresting soundscapes from within.
Gaze into a spectral morning
dazzling anew and
watch those scales
that slither from one’s eyes.
Utter silken threads that pulse
each vein with choral church bells
ascending thru a literati conduit.
Wallow in the cascade of an oceanic
blue and cherish
every vital sea green moment.

We all desire to be poets
we were born to write wanting this
be the Poe that we find so strange
be Emile with her enchantment
Being Brecht in definitive elucubrations
Being romantic realistic as Rousseau
or even internet literati,
minor court drama writers from our districts...
Well-known, consecrated poets
award winners...
We discovered that we are simple, mortal... not all dreams
take place...
But don't be discouraged
life is not just here and in this world...!
