Encore, Encore!

"Encore, Encore!" the crowd pleaded
What the poet deathly dreaded,
Sanity beheaded.
The poet did,
What the crowd needed.
There went the poet,
Speaking words articulately.
While no one spoke a word.
Dead audience in absolute awe.
As the poet proceeded
As words flew divinely
Atmosphere was heavenly
Thick with awe.
As the poet spoke breathlessly
He stuttered.
As his death was untimely.


The author's comments:
Inspiration for this piece came directly from the pits of my mind. It tells of a story about a poet absolutely dazzling his audience to death. And in turn the poet himself drops dead abruptly. In a deeper way of looking at it, all good things must come to an utter stop whether it be sudden or in time.
