Structured Verse
Is structured verse so surely dead?Has it nothing left to say?
Have the rhyme and rhythm petered out
Somewhere along the way?
Have feet marched off to glory's end?
Have the syllables this day
Been recounted for the one last time
And then been packed away?
The masters are but relics now?
Do their words hold nothing more?
Have the songs and stories sung by them
Become just ancient lore?
No, I for one can not allow
Such a day to ever dawn,
For as surely as I still draw breath
The rhythm will live on!
