I dream

 I dream


I dream in iambic

I mumble in verse

for Will was my teacher

and Em was my nurse.


My quill dips in fountains

of eloquent ink

and beautiful etchings

for Poe was my shrink.


I farmed with my Tennyson

planting the seed,

I studied my Cummings

(old e.e.), indeed …


“anyone lived” is a

poetry force…

and as for my Kipling,

I’ve kipled, of course.


I’ve mingled and mangled

with many a bard,

I will be a poet

it can’t be that hard.
