The Queen Of Poetry
Feebly, she climbed the garden stairs
Leaving her breathless as she turned to compare
The sullen thought that suddenly arose
Like a full-blown, blood red, diamond rose
That she had left at the base of the aged stairs
--------------------------------------------------
She grimaced, why would anyone frighten a feeble soul
A poet, weak with the myths and legends of old
Enunciating a gentler speak to intimidate
Those who would listen to her senility berate
The chartreuse literary minds plotting for her gold
--------------------------------------------------
Yet in her finest moments of churchyard clarity
She would climb the garden stairs so easily
And recite pure beauty to the fairiesΒ and bumblebees
So enticing were her words that shadow men hid in the trees
Recording her poetic philosophy for the golden ages posterity
------------------------------------------------------
Feebly, she climbed the library stairs of Alexandria
Where the light from her face collected a life-long panacea
Allowing her the youth of her life's work momentarily
She turned and spoke to the bookshelves of her life's originality
And she smiled at the stairs where she burst into a flame of quiet conviviality.....
