Poets will proffer a word creation
Pictures on the page of mankind
Pouring forth imagination
Past greats all of literary rind
Over centuries till to-day
Our world reading from quills divine
Of the art in a mind's thought clay
Opus after opus gold to mine
Verse of romance lovers embrace
Verily spring's bloom tis beautiful
Victory won on the battle-front's face
Vying for lands e'er plentiful
Every composition a story
Each wordsmith of singular hand
Etching a mark throughout history
Ergo the masterpiece so grand
