Prose
François Giroux 1982 (Canada)
A poet armed with a pencil
Will write all there is to write
He'll write himself as king
Prince, pauper or knight
He'll write himself treasure
Dragon's hoard and pirate plunder
He'll write of true love
Sadness and bliss
He'll write himself as emperor
A velvet glove on his iron fist
And should his empire be poised to fall
He'll erase it all
