O’ we begin with Chaucer G

way back in the fourteenth century

and that’s how English should be

studied discussed and understood

when was there a ’schwa’ or not

or just another ‘e’.

‘To be or not to be ‘

do we quote all this deliberately?

Poets poets poets and poetry

is all that we read and see.

From the Classical Athenian Greeks

to the shores of Roman Virgilian Italy.

I was a reader of Literature

of floristic  archaic aphoristic pithy

utterances about lean mean and murky

But Poets make people they 
make nations
build stations on high-here are the words
 of how the blades and swords

 brought life and victory;

Poets stay alive and keep alive Poetry

-No Poets are Dead but A Dead Society-
