A Poet's Nose, a parody rondeau Options

[JustDaniel]

A Poet’s Nose

A poet’s nose sniffs everywhere
in search of inspiration’s lair,
directs its eye and list’ning ear
to where prosaic writers fear
a path to make, beyond “Beware!”

Pinocchio, that wooden heir,
could never grasp the poet’s flair;
with lies he’d tried to engineer
a poet’s nose.

A cricket’s click could not compare
with beating heart and soulful stare
that make a bard a pioneer;
our puppet-boy will long revere
a poet’s nose.
