What Is A Good Poet?~by Lilian Dipasupil Kunimasa

 

 

What Is A Good Poet?

A haunted castle nesting on a hill
Where the Queen kept Juliet to kill
For Juliet’s blood the chalice to fill
Stop for Queen, Time’s aging wheel

Romeo, with a lover’s vow to fulfill
Slew all the demons without chill
His valor and physique fits the bill
All set to claim his destiny’s will

Frightened Juliet perched on the sill
Right above the bone crushing mill
Any princess knows how to sit still
But not when poked by a rod steel

Air was filled with screaming shrill
Romeo with tortured cry did kneel
O! Rappler Juliet was saved by skill
It was Queen’s life, blades did seal

Now! Is it not just an amazing deal
Juliet is a poet with a powerful quill
Which she dug in the window’s sill
Gave Queen a taste of her own pill

A Good Poet always carry a Quill !
