The Poetry King

A bow to The Poetry King,
who thinks he doesn't 
mean a thing 
in the grand scheme.

Wears his heart 
on stained sleeve,
makes paupers feel
like royalty.

Waxes poetic about 
life, love, and history
that would otherwise remain 
unsolved mysteries.

More than just a dream,
The Poetry King
lives eternally,
in you and me.

That means a lot coming from the Poetry King formerly known as Poemagraphic! Thanks Paul. You are a blessing. ?

For Dylan, I would change the second stanza to β€œHis heart is full of Diamonds and Rust”... He is for sure a Poetry King, but I would rather Leonard Cohen won the Pulitzer.

Thanks for stopping by! Welcome to WOL. ?
