The Poet, The Muse, and The Poems

For the same reason that sonnets were written about Laura;
like the balcony scene in Romeo & Juliet,
like the sweet sound of songbirds in duet,
I became a hopeless romantic the moment I saw her.

Ode to a Sonnet

ode, petrarch, poetry is not dead, sonnet, the rebirth of cool

Poetry is not dead, here’s an ode to a sonnet.
Oh how I orchestrate grammar.
Compose quatrains and tercets into stanzas.
The rebirth of cool, my scribes are iconic.

Poetry is not dead, here’s an ode to a sonnet.
I pen fourteenth century Italy: exponentially, Petrarch in a manner.
I frame scenes vividly: candidly, no art, no camera.
The rebirth of cool, my scribes are iconic.

If poetry should die, let her die tonight.
If poetry should die, let her tombstone read: abba, abba, cde, cde.
If poetry should die, let us remember her form.

If poetry should die, may she inspire a poet to write.
If poetry should die, let her eulogy read: abba, abba, cde, cde.
If poetry should die, let us deliver a sonnet by dawn.
