Acrostic, Spenserian Sonnet |
| Death of Poetry by book boycotting Endless steel shelves of sonnets corroding Cemetary libraries/ words rotting Ominous emptiness, aisles foreboding Multiple volumes of verse eroding Pen strokes of Past-Master-Poets fading Old-school-Dewey-Decimal-decoding Shakespeare and Shelley lost in crusading Internet uploads/ downloads: degrading Tumbling rhyme for the time evolving Imperfect imagery seranading Odes to Joy unjoyfully dissolve Narratives spurned & burned, lyrics unlearned Sectioned-off-library-shelves overturned |
