Words set to music
give the body tonic--
poetic melody:
rhymes, rhythms, caesuras,
meters, beats, stanzas
and envoys
in use.
Making millions of dollars
off an album,
platinum
pop stars:
hounded by paparazzi,
landed in a Jaccuzi;
deified are poets--
pursued by Muse's mustang
midst the prairies
of inspiration
trotting.
Poetry draws no pretty penny,
prizes like the Nobel
praise.
Mummy poetry is exhaling
in the lyrical pantheon
of music.
