The Poets' Corner

 

HELENE’S POETS’ CORNER IS ABOUT TO BE DONE
EXCITINGLY EVERYONE’S COMING OUT TO HAVE FUN
WE NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT ONCE BEGUN
PEOPLE MONTHLY COME FOR A POETIC HOME-RUN
RECITER’S POETIC FLAIR  BRING HOME WORDS SPUN

EVERYONE KNOWS WE DONT ACCEPT ABSURDITIES
NOR UNDERTAKE EXPRESSIONS OF SUPERFLUITIES
THE CORNER IS ABOUT TRAGEDIES AND COMEDIES
BRINGING AUDIENCES INTO WONDROUS FANTASIES
KNOWING FOR SURE THAT TPOEMS HAVE REMEDIES

SOME RECITERS MAKE A FEW BECOME SPEECHLESS
LISTENING BRINGS MANY PEACE AND YOUTHFULNESS
CREATING A WORLD OF WONDER WITH AWARENESS
ENTRENCHED POETS BECOME AN HEIR OR HEIRESS
AS WE ARE LURED INTO OUR GIFTED ARTFULNESS

THE POETS’ CORNER IS CHEZ HELENE’S BURROW
UNTIL SHE LAUNCHES IT WITH ALL HER GONG-HO
LET’S CHEER HER UP TELLING HER IT’S NOT A FIASCO
IN PERFORMING WE WILL ALL HAVE AN AFTERGLOW
URGED TO COMPOSE AS WE RECITE AND GROW!

THE POETS’ CORNER IS AT HER SILVER SAGE ABODE!
