No Power In The Verse Can Stop Me NaPoWriMo 2025

When, in my youth, I fixed upon The Bard

And eagerly devour’d his poetry,

I did not know it would be quite so hard

To replicate such verses skilfully,

Yet lo, when here I come to craft a verse

Of fourteen lines within a structure set,

I find myself full empty of such words

As one could use to write a fair sonnet!

And thus, needs must, and meta shall I be,

And write a poem about poetry.
