One and a half ounce of diction And a dash of denotation, On Qt of irony And some crushed connotation, Some literal meanings And some figuration.....
Garnished with metaphors Over syntax in a situation.
Mix ingredients in a punch bowl of resplendent imagery That's what you do for some good poetry!
Or
A cauldron of meter over a fire of passion, A fillet of a symbol and crazy catching caption, The claws of a pun Added to wings of compassion The tongue of illusion To the hair of a fraction -
Chant a charm of chiming verses As you dance in the circle of action.
Till passion peaks to a crescendo in a Witches Brewery - That's what you do for some good poetry!
Or
Forms and pattern, known as the feed, In a feed tray in the middle of the figurative breed Stripped of the superfluous Now a rectified creed Vaporized to a blank verse Condensed to a read.
Cooled down in a stanza A purifying deed.
One drop of distilled verse of all the filth now free That's what you do for some good poetry!
