Lament
How can a serious poet be accepted by those erudites who’ve reached an apogee in heights and are much wiser than is he? If learnéd I was as some folks, my words would please, but woe-alas, to scrutinizers they don’t pass, becoming risible, quizzical jokes. My situation is quite grim. I’ve truly tried and studied hard along this road to be a bard but still my prominence stays dim. A whiskered wizard I remain with pen in hand to join the game in search of promiscuity and fame and overall, not go insane. edit changed verse order switching 1 & 2 ·······  ······· |

Hello Merlin - since when has wisdom walked hand in hand with poetry? Promiscuity - You bet!
Methinks the Wizard doth protest too much. Apogee? Erudites? Risible? Anyone who can casually chuck words like those around in a piece of verse - ain't no edjit! Nice one, Leo xx ······· ······· |
