POETICIANS MUST ENGAGE ~ LIKE A CIRCLE IN A CIRCLE ~ LIKE A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL ~ LIKE THE POETRY YOU FIND ~ IN THE WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND
POETICIANS must engage ~ some long lost rudiments of Grammar
And thereby enter into the Courts of Calliope
On the the other side of reasonableness !
And seek to rearrange from sludge of Modern Poetry
And re-articulate the lost chord of the Muse
Please salvage the lost *Bon Mots* of Classic Poetry !
POETICIANS must engage ~ some long lost rudiments of Grammar
Restore again process of thought ~ now crucified
And reason buried now *neath the asphalt of Modernity
The legacy of Phantomatic absolutes
Now lost alas twixt Heaven & Gehennah
Please salvage the lost *Bon Mots* of Classic Poetry !
POETICIANS must engage ~ some long lost rudiments of Grammar
A bouquette of blood-red flags & bunting
Stop all the clocks ~ til Keats & Worsdworth resurrect
And re-articulate the lost chord of the Muse
The legacy of Phantomatic absolutes
Please salvage the lost *Bon Mots* of Classic Poetry !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛💛💛
This Poem is presented as an *Encapsulate Poem* in which three quatrains are encapsulated in the same first and last lines of a sextet. The result is three balanced blank verse sextets. It is lament from POETICIANS of the mediocrity of *Modern Poetry* which lacks Rhyme - Rhythm - Reason ! Love Angela & Brian ~ ENJOY !
