Send out the word 
The Poet is rising  
If thou has not overheard,  
Tis poetry’s new uprising!  
 
Each silver of thy mane 
Shows a hoary journey;  
 A life of fun and game,  
Sporting drama and irony. 
 
There’s a message in thy mail,  
Straight from one’s heart;  
Ere the mind may fail,  
And its meaning falls apart. 
 
The pain of love’s labor,  
Is borne by those who know,  
And the Poet does you favor  
With happiness in tow. 
 
Now send out the word again,  
The Poet has arisen!  
None shall go back in vain,  
Earth’s love thou shall imprison!
