(Regular readers have probably already noted that what follows is not a pure arcanagram. This is because, although the last word of each line is spelt using only the letters P O E T R Y, the last line does not end
in the word ‘poetry,’ which it should were this a strict arcanagram.)
Sing me stories of
O. Mingle Gorey with Poe.
Let a hollow
horse (oy!) tell me tales set in
Troy.
Chants of
Klansmen and rope, hymns of faith and lost ‘ope.
Sell me sagas
of yore, epics empt’ing each pore.
Tales of
climbing High Tor, “49”ing gold ore.
Fonts of poetry
ope: sev’ral stanzas, a trope.
In a shout-out re ‘toy,’ shout ‘bout Siegfried re Roy.
Serve up
catfishes’ roe. Swerve from treetop to toe.
Sing me Sidon
and Tyre. Fan that funeral pyre.
Rap of San Luis
Rey: do a deuce; do a trey.
Who’ll object
if you pry? You’ll not know till you try.
Drink deep
draughts. Pour your pote. (I’ll hear nothing by rote.)
Say not ‘sed,’
only ‘et.’ (Be I bed-raed? Not yet.)
Never ‘con-,’ always ‘pro-,’ nor of nothing de trop.
Tack your tales
hard to port, each poetical ort.
On my
artiness prey: it’s well known you’re o’tre.
Should your rap
need a rep, who will volunteer? Yep!
Sing ye! Rage
till ye rot! Po’ms are better than pot.
Something dolorous? Nope: songs to sing skipping rope
sung like Gorey and Poe. (Skip those stories of O.)
