Poetry for the masses!

[thesilentpoet.livejournal.com]

Still approx. 3 hours to go on today's Poetry for the Masses!. To get the ball rolling (more), the next person to tip will trigger a second freebie. The first Freebie can be found here, it falls into the Silk Road Allies 'verse.

I have the following poem available for purchase. All Poetry for the Masses! poems are on a pay-what-you-will scale. Click the first paragraph link for the perks.

"The Dance of Spring".

The flowers came earlier every year,
the thaw whispering across lands
before the earth was ready. They shivered,
in the flimsiness of their dresses,
diving back into their trees to keep warm."

something the paleontologists had cooked up in the lab one night,
after one too many drinks.

He had followed the Roman Army, stood on the Capital

(This is a 64-squared poem, and tells how Gilbert Rome became Immortal.

(You might also see ysabetwordsmith poem, When in Rome, a Gilbert Rome character sketch I requested during a prior Poetry Fishbowl for more details into who Gillbert Rome is.)
