“Thou was not born for death, immortal bird!”

Quoth the great poet, Keats, in times of yore

And words from the poet Poe, long ago…

“Quoth the raven, ‘Nevermore’!”

~~~

The raven, a symbol of death to come

Or so it’s been said, you know, by some

Were they contradicting each other there?

I love them both, so I don’t care.

~~~

This poetry we love, a form of art

And means by which ideas to express

To muse about the world at large

And even, perhaps, relieve our stress

~~~

Both Keats and Poe, wordsmiths so great

Though differently, their words did state

It’s much the same as us, I suppose

Whether in poetry, or in prose

~~~

We love to tell it like it is

In hopes that others may relate

Or so we hope, when we pen our thoughts

Whether musings, or to pontificate

~~~

I love to read,  and write it too

I must assume that so do you

Or else it stands to reason, dear,

That likely you would not be here.
