Description 1/30

A 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!
