Not To Be Neglected

Waiting for petrichor to rise                                                                                            lost in all hackneyed phrasing                                                                                      please use forbearance for words do hide                                                                        some are evanescent in an archaic phasing                                                                      some fraught with aesthetics lie now in the ground                                                              not to be enervating but some have already died                                                                    and time is ephemeral so let them abound                                                                               so to be intrepid and brazen canny not to deride                                                                        to foster jubilation in exemplary camaraderie                                                                                 for the love of the vocable for they are florid and opulent                                                                     they can be anachronistic but also Incendiary                                                                                    so withal I will leave with a Breeze so succulent                                                                                     I think poets are not prosaic but the last to capitulate
