We scribble in so many words
Mementos on a minstrel's mind
Each coinage flying free as birds
Discharging droppings duly signed
We author categorically
Convictions in a rimester's root
Each sonnet metaphorically
Remaining for one last salute
We write down verses in the now
Reflections of the poet's past
Each musing like a timeless vow
Suspending vers libres half-mast
