Best Of The Best

Best Of The Best

A Poem by Gilbert Saint
"

Its a poem i wrote about my brand of writing(ultimate Poetry) and also entered it in a contest, in www.figment.com

"

BEST OF THE BEST.

“I want to play in a band with a crazy name”

Who ever knew the saint would upgrade his name,

Billy Collins never thought someone would outdo his campaign,

The ultimate poet, Figment was his to entertain.

 

What are stars for if not to be aimed at?

What is poetry for if not to be proclaimed the best art?

Musical poetry comes straight from this heart.

I swagger like a dagger; my work can’t be pulled under,

If this doesn’t succeed, I’ll just write another, an extra mile, I’ll have to go further,

Add to the number, salute poetry, that has been my mother and father.

 

 

I know I can write, both tunes and rhymes, make musical poetry, on this site,

I know I can write, give my thoughts time to take flight,

I know I can write, I’ve been doing so up to this night,

I still know I can write, through Figment, I bring it to light.

 

The last stanza, the delicate part of a flower’s anther,

The precious subset of my poetic set,

The greatest feat I’ve yet to test, all in all, I know I’m the best,

The poetic heartbeat in the treasure chest, created never to fall in unrest,

The Ultimate Poet, my case I rest.

Nice! This is an awesome poem, and the flow was absolutely wonderful. The rhyming was great. Trust me, even though I'm not much of a "rhyming" poet, the rhyming helped it flow. It comes out, if you read it aloud (am I making sense?) easy to read. Like Shakespeare. :)
