Cheesy Poem

"The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."
Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
...

The metaphysical diopter motions to history,
pushing the candles of time into the forefront
of our eyes.
...

The maniacal ombudsman post rabbits and ribbons that stretch taut and firm across the curly canyon of Connecticut.
Pink dingoes run along the serpentine rocks, diving into the crinkle water that smells like soap.
Whenever I see these things, my thoughts wander along a muddy path with overgrown shrub and brittle chaparral,

Cheesy Poem

"The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."
Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

Prolific and jocular, GK Chesterton fired an arrow at the sensitive poets.
Poets are not ignoring cheese,
we honor cheese
however we have so many other subjects to explore

Like trees and ferris wheels
conversations in windy automobiles
the subtleties of eye color and the grin of a baby

We have not got around to cheese

Its creamy colors, uneven rectangular shapes
remind us of the majesty of the Platonic solids
A soft squishy feel that yields to the touch and captures the fingerprint of all who touch it
like a rich man's influence on his favored politician

Someday soon, perhaps poets will write on cheese
Parmesan
cheddars
bries
and Stiltons

Poets may create an entire genre on pizza cheeses
Dominos
vs. Pizza Hut
vs. Round Table
vs. Papa John's

Chesterton you fool
you may unleash the full writing arsenal of the poets
And soon, say in the year 2130, readers will howl and scream

"Please stop writing about the texture, the effervescence, the incandescence,
and the transcendence of cheese"
