Poetry Pot Poem by John Sensele

In a poetry pot stew words to inspire
Vintage works from Pablo Neruda, William Shakespeare
Metaphors and similes from Angelou Maya
Romantic verses from Lord Byron to set hearts on fire.

In a poetry colander swim assonance
Vintage works from Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Bishop
Sestinas, sonnets and pantoums teeming with consonance
To delect erudite minds that surf in a poetry workshop.

In a poetry saucepan lives an array of devices
Internal and rhymes vie for pride of place
Alongside enjambment, caesura which render services
To amateurs and professionals who crave a poetry space.
