No Barbaric Yawps, Please - poem

No Barbaric Yawps, Please
Nobody writes poetry anymore
With patience gentling iambs into place
As if they were jewels set into a crown
Or Aves whispered through the Rosary
Nobody writes poetry anymore
Crafting images with a workman’s skill
(or bashing them through ‘prentice clumsiness!)
And shyly dreaming them into the world
Common nobility common to all -
Nobody writes poetry anymore
