Sonnet 39: The Poet
(Poetry of Earth: Acrostic 1)
The poetry of earth is never dead:
His worth in rhyme outweighs the weight of Earth,
Extends beyond the reach of Nature's spread,
Pervades the world with life to quench its dearth.
Oblivion, you may devour his prime,
Engender on his face your fickle quill
To draw the lines of age, but stronger rhyme
Restores his fading looks and dares to kill
Your vile conspiracies against his life,
Offends at every chance your fading sway,
For poetry outlasts a world of strife,
Enduring all your plans to live each day.
Alive in rhyme, my love will live forever,
Resisting change towards the brink of never!
(Quoted) The poetry of earth is never dead...
