Brother bard
Live from Leicester Square
Dear Bearded Quill
Would that you will
I am
To you in debt
You’ll not regret
Bestow me gift
If you catch my drift
Of bardic grace
Without a trace
Of malice
From your chalice
Of words sublime
With reason
Rhyme
Or
To put it another way
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Your lyric
Trick

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I enjoyed the way you put this piece together, Sir Raymond! 💜
Cool music!!! Your poetry is good too! 😊
Never thought I’d see Ian Drury and Shakespeare on the same page, but then again, why not? ❤️😉
Love it! I especially like how you break it up with the video and save the last two lines for afterwards. I'm always impressed too with final lines in a poem that are one or two words. It's like they slow down at the end to emphasize that final beat. ⚡💙 Bill ⚡
What a melodic and yet very poetic poem. Great work.
Stick made me think of something inappropriate, lol. Loved your poem!
