The Poetic Memorial Poem by Varsha M

The Poetic Memorial

Rating: 5.0


Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury tales
Though the explicit prologue
Ultimately won every heart
And earned it's master a status of father
iin the poetic world of literature

But that was just no end.
At his death in C.1400
He was honorarily burried
At Westminster Abbey

Not as a poet at that time
But as he was clerk of king's works
At that time in the Abbey.
Two hundred years later

Edmund Spence who owned
The Ferarie Queen
Laid silent next to Chaucer
Creating the poet's corner

Laying the foundation for
Literarily memorial
Bringing together every soul
That love to dive into literature

All in Westminster Abbey
Holding hands together
As they see world of literature
Flourish like a fragrance

In the garden of life
Preserving every element
In words that seems simple
But impacts like a knife.

This memorial is all about English poets. Chaucer a well known and powerful Statesman and a poet too famous by his Canterbury Tales and Edmund Spenser with his The Faerie Queene
