“I can’t even
make up a rhyme
about an umbrella,
let alone death
and life
and eternal peace.”

Poem:
.
death, life and eternal peace
searching for the proverbial golden fleece
life and death are gauranteed
fleece and peace need a superhuman deed
the poem makes up the rhyme
the poet just selects the time
the subject is in the language
knowing a lot of words is an advantage
today’s inspiration is umbrella
not Mary Poppins but Cinderella
searching for the charming prince
rarer than the flowering quince
I’m glad that poems need only rhyme not reason
the thought police may call it treason
Orwell’s incitement was done in prose
will it ever happen, nobody knows
many a poem ramble on forever
short and sweet is enjoyably more clever
