Can Poetry Survive?
The Greeks hymned the great Apollo with a lyre:
To aid composition sought to tame the Muses' fire
China made classic poets the rulers of the nation
But taxed aspirants' stamina by hard examination
The Romans read their poems from a lectuary
At risk of a Caesar requesting their obituary
Poets of Japan
Made ode
The mode
Small
But Tall
I think I can
The Persians sang of bread, wine and thou,
The English wanted but a house and cow.
Poems lived but in people's memory and hearts
Till printing voiced abroad the inky arts
Now poets use the net to spread their work world wide
Immortal, unsleeping until - O ****! the hard disk's died!
