The poet'S honeycomb (quintuple haiku)
Len Lewis 1943 (Port of Spain, Trinidad)
Prolific phrasers
gild poetry dot com's parade
with lyrical fare.
Motley paraders,
Persistent and passionate,
Push peers past their peaks.
Bards are to poetry
As some bees are to honey;
Collecting nature's,
sweetest deposits
from here, there and everywhere;
just to bring them back,
to their cyber home
this buzzing internet site.
Poetry's honeycomb.
