BURNT OUT POET
he was a
burnt out poet
there he sat glumly
in the cinders
of his villanelles
smouldering sonnets
flickering terza
scorched sestina
and some singed
crumbling free verse
and unrecognisable
odes-haiku-ballads
dog eared charcoaled
limerick ashes
but to his surprise
and total delight
came up with one
of his own dear
almost smoke free
sparkling rondels
