This poem is titled “Poetic Obeisance.”
Obeisance is defined as “a gesture expressing deferential respect, such as a bow or curtsy.”
I bow to this shelf of poetry books.
These have stood the test of time.
Though the poets never knew that.
I will never know that either, but
I will leave myself some shelf space.
I like the poem – and I always like learning a new word or fact in a poem too.
