[bodytext] => Once there was a tavern yellow In a bright green vale The keeper was a nice old fellow And he served beer and ale He served all people in the town Elves and halflings too Everyone loved to go down To drink a pint or two Once a king came in and said 'Give us your finest drink My courtiers may soon be dead' Of this did keeper think But he gave them his best brew And watched them drink their fill A visit from a king was new To keeper ‘twas a thrill The king was content with the liquor he’d had And he swore to come again Even if the weather be bad He would go inside the rain Although the king was pleased He said he wouldn’t pay At least he couldn’t be appeased Until the very next day The king and his courtiers stayed up late Dancing dance and singing song They all stayed up till morning at eight The whole night, it had been long The king and company were asleep By the time the cock crowed ten They’d all toppled into a heap Long before they woke again The keeper roused the king from nap So that his company could leave He didn’t want to wake the chap But tugged anyway at his sleeve King awoke and yelled aloud That he had been tricked That with drink he’d been endowed And with that, out he was kicked The keeper took the king’s money And stored it his purse The scene before seemed a bit funny Until he heard king curse The keeper cleaned the tavern yellow That rested in the green vale He was still a nice old fellow Who served beer and ale [comments] => 2 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 40 [informant] => Cupid [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fantasy )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
