#vainwriters - Hello Poetry

. Sad kings would have themselves Be known as Bard, tho without music They clack song, clang along, bleeding Ears in their sycophantic, bull kingdoms, The horns, hardly trumpet in the barnyards, For it is writ, because they have so inscribed, All must now be audience, and used witness, The spotted fawn, is all their sorrowed brilliance, Yet, the tower raven mocks these kings crowing, How they vainly display their sorry proclamations On flea broken, loosed, rusted, disused abacus, Their tabulations of worths non are mounted In a mirror by their chambers and hands, But all the knowledge of fallen Rome Are simply pleasures to dream, As their dim wordy dreams Know praises so hollow, As fools on a throne.

The Sad Kings

. Sad kings would have themselves Be known as Bard, tho without music They clack song, clang along, bleeding Ears in their sycophantic, bull kingdoms, The horns, hardly trumpet in the barnyards, For it is writ, because they have so inscribed, All must now be audience, and used witness, The spotted fawn, is all their sorrowed brilliance, Yet, the tower raven mocks these kings crowing, How they vainly display their sorry proclamations On flea broken, loosed, rusted, disused abacus, Their tabulations of worths non are mounted In a mirror by their chambers and hands, But all the knowledge of fallen Rome Are simply pleasures to dream, As their dim wordy dreams Know praises so hollow, As fools on a throne.

Little dull birdies . . . Love own songs by mirror pond, . . . Graceful swan sails by. Hello Poetry . . . Rube lords with simple vainness, Watch him crown himself. Hello Poetry . . . Day sullies night, bright vanity . . . Rube is a poser. Hello poetry . . . Even vain rube's bio drains, Spews self promotion. Here is Pantheon . . . Dabblers, self aggrandizers, . . . What a hollow hall.
