Sage Sweetwater bringing you the Upper Tier in Creative Expression


sluice gates released the literary waters
at a gradual rate, to enrich, not erode the
poetic fields,

from above, the One watched from the
multi-story Watchtower, furnished warning
against invaders of Writers' Guilds,

literary organizations built according to
cosmic specifications, Walls complete,
authors prepared the altar to the gods,

tree-lined syntax boulevards welcomed all -
goddesses, monks, and adventurers, the
ideal configuration, circular, diversity of sods,

gongs and drums banged and beat, celebration
of the toil of authors' ammenities, heroic sewer
systems to keep the vile waste off the street,

but the fabled City of Poetry fell, victim to
poor management and internal chaos, little
remained but dens gorged with silt,

The Day the Authors Back-Stabbed Poetry
in the Back...

surging floodwaters gave it the consistency
of oatmeal, all that had been built, inundated
with deception and the litany of evil deeds,

the City of Poetry founded and erected to
provide word transportation, adjusted gradient
and inspired many learned tomes, poets homes,

put simply, one averts the Bridge Over Troubled
Water by raising the dikes or lowering the water,
the gods champion this cause,

too precious to lose, at the heart of public works,
poetic engineers have great influence, in ancient
mythology, they are first to conquer the flood,

applause, the poetic engineer, head of Fords,
Ferries, and Bridges outranks mudjackers, the
poetic engineer puts up a cofferdam of bamboo,

clears the City of Poetry of silt and debris,
credited in legend for supervising the blueprint
of poetic design,

Breaking Bread and wine, incense is burned
before his statue, hailed and veiled in vine, today
free of avarice and all manner of corruption,

linking all authors to one another, one of the great
poetic engineering feats of all time, holding the spine
of the book with collective glue...we thank you...
