Prosaic poeticity

I have been composing poetry
since I was age 9 or less maybe
that was a million decades away

In school they spoke of Shakespeare and Macbeth
brought me laurels
I became literati over nite a poet!
and then among many other things
became a poet lover of imaginary duet!

Much till lately to Jess's disgust

I don't read many
except all those who profess
they are poets
some are worse
so I take a deep breath of satisfaction
in poetic prosaic and prose,
I have spoken
I voiced poetry across many a stage
short of a standing ovation
they continued to clap without any provocation...

Here on Neopoet I have read poets
the like of Esker, you, Ian and Geremia
but I wonder if you have noticed now
all don't write western seasoned poetry
most follow me in composing free
even you do at times Stan.

All I want to say
no two poetry's of mine
have any commonality
despite the dawns gone merrily
yet many I assure myself
read me.

Decades don't a spring make
nor a single maid, love
but together we all can say
poetry comes to some
if it may
have a happy poetic day
all can't read me any way
There are 7.5 billions of us
so why about any poet fuss
including many of us.

"The Ode Less Travelled" by Stephen Fry. You will be much entertained he is a highly erudite and brilliant humourist. You will also understand why so many of us love, despise and are intrigued by your work.

You are an acquired taste, Loved, you still sometimes astound me by the extremities between your brilliance and your idiocy.

cheers,
Jess

You are an acquired taste,
Loved, you still sometimes astound me by the extremities

between your brilliance and your idiocy...
so be it!amen
Jess

brilliance when I mean business
and idiocy
to act humorously
and as if with kids
