free verse

poets are like pop stars
the plurality will have just one hit
and that's it

of course there may be a few
Delores O'Riordans, Paul Simons and U2s
Alfred Lord Tennyson was one


but most of us must settle (no disrespect) alas
for being Stephen Tin Tin Duffys and Rene and Renatos
or if we're lucky The Flying Lizards
