    London Time

    A step in time I took one day
    On specters mist who led the way
    Down cobblestones and garden paths
    Armless statues guarding baths
    Armored beasts reflect the sun
    Gallant knights are all for one
    Hedge puzzles line the gardens fair
    Hide and Seek for those that dare
    Ladies clad in whale bone stays
    Surreys pulled by chestnut bays
    Sticky buns and honeyed mead
    Cards and races slate the greed
    Then on he led to shanty town
    Down rows of tenements falling down
    Sewage stench accosts the street
    Where doxies in the alleys meet
    Walking peddlers hawk their wares
    And homeless children, no one cares
    Disease spreads rampant through the town
    Renaissance Art, the churches frown
    Then through the mist he leads again
    Back to my time; my heart to pen.

    Awesome for real, I love to travel time, nice poem

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
