Description
1/30A morning chill, the scent is in the air.
The males all lift their heads w’ nostrils flared.
It is the season poets congregate
In open fields to meet and take a mate.
In joining pen w’ pen to no more roam,
To propagate in pairs and make a poem.
The strongest bucks of verse will be a catch
That poet doe’s of equal skill can fetch.
All through the spring the ink of love fulfills,
To flow through veins of passion, creeks & rills.
The poet bucks who lost are feeling hurt:
“I came to write and got a lousy shirt!”
There’s one who’s limping still w’ bloody face.
He looks around to see who’s left to chase,
And bellows loudly at the female strays,
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!”

Quite apart from the fact that this is FREAKIN' FABULOUS, and another fine example of spelling, grammar and elocution, I can't help but ponder the plural of "doe." Does it really have to imitate the possessive? (Yes, of course the pun is intended, [sigh] you people!)
BTW, shouldn't "fetch" be "match" ?

Ooooh, that's wonderful to know, my friend. I've never seen another poet compose anything like this. It was a different kind of poem, or rather, treatment of the subject, from anything I'd done before ...and I love it!
