Tis The Birth Day Suit Of Poetry

From the conception baring vibrant written words

In livid Birth Day Suits skinny dipping vivid verse

Words dew show nudity in clairvoyant clarity

Seer inception introspection that dissects time.

Upon evolution of poetry revolves power poets

That upon birth wails dew recite their first poetry.

That beholds humanity in infancy Birth Day Suits,

To Be nurtured in lifelong lifetime elocution recitals

Strip down to the core composition composting man

Bore from the womb of woman birthing all mankind

That poetry evolved within civilization’s consciousness

That time rings are rooted within a family tree of poets.

Caveman branch verse did evolve into Homer dissertations.

Gendra crème de la crème did milk masterpiece exquisite.

Timing upon the mayor branches bearing poetry diversification,

Poetry is not “one” but a Mass Declaration of Poetic Freedom.

Shakespeare, Byron, Shelley, Donne, Auden, Milton King’s English.

Hugo, La Fontaine, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Marot, masterful French.

Dante, Petrarch, Rosa, Vida In con amore Literature Italian.

Han Yu, Li Po, Tu Fu, Wang Wei in pearl cultured Chinese.

Poetry Birth Day Suit crossed the pond to Thoreau Walden Pond,

Where American genre traits transmutation evoked Free Verse.

And as the ring grow in growth upon the girth of birth of poetry,

We have evolved in pruning germination that grafts worldwide verse.

Where America braches its Frost that Pound that Whitman Blades of Grass

Upon a Bell Jar, did ring in Platt power, as Dickenson did tower American verse.

 While Eliot profound poetry shared Stevens vibrations with dynamic Angelou.

Wherein a Phoenix - Ashbery inflames us To BE Masterful poets of America.

That POEtry is To Try, To Be, To Arise, To Create, and To Be POEtry’s Poe Raven,

Where nails of Platt and Sexton dig deep in the depth that poetry lives forevermore.

We each have Frost’s “A Toad Not Taken” that taken will set a trail ablaze evermore

That your Birth Day Suit tis a master piece of divine beauty blossoming for ever

And ever more into eternity.
