Bard

As the world turns slowly again viridian
His realm divides between English and Latin.
Decide which deicide keeps the medium,
Stave off lunacy depicting the patterns.
Country is fresh this day yet town is thronged
With his voice varieties, heard undercover.
Comedy like tragedy is by everyone tongued.
Soul transforms in company of a lover.
Sphery, thrumming, waxen, plain-song, cuckoo,
His words catch and flame on the burning deck.
“It is not enough to speak, but to speak true,”
His creed, his everyday reality check.
He is catholic to a fault, perhaps.
He is fissile and a pratfall chap.
