  An Ode to Lord P(oet)
From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2010.06.24 at 00:08:31(21139)
For your consideration:

There was the one known as “Lord P”

Amorphophallus suited him to a “T”

Whether konjac, stipitatus

Titanum, or lunatus

An expert, we all would agree.

Not bad Don,

Can you re-work it so it starts, "there was a young man from Leiden..."

Maybe we'll start a poetry contest :)

This is my entry (a part of a larger work):

Wrapped in aqueous leaves

Seeking destiny

Charmed with her presence

Forgetting memory

Innocent smoothness incapacitates insects

Viscous gates of lust accumulate energy

As the cold Earth radiates the heat of temptation

Hidden in the aqueous leaves

Let me in...

Well, Wilbert, I can certainly adjust mine to read:

“There is the one know as...”

Susan will have to defend herself.
