Glorifiable!
The farther away from my youth I get,
more florid pleasures become understood
and less and less do I pointlessly fret
about the earnest things I once thought good.
Now I sail the seven syllabic seas
and navigate caesura's heaving swells
because there is no better way to please
a mind wherein surplus glory dwells.
Now infested with rhyme's chirping dulcets,
I've come to expect some order with words
and not waste time with prose sermonettes
worse than the scattershot droppings of birds;
since verse revives like wine from the grail,
to see the mind blow...like wind in a sail.
