Exceptional counting down poem Get Well, Brooke! : Ten Bards a-bawling by LIJ Red

Ten Fanstory poets rhyming mighty fine one hashed a metaphor then there were nine. Nine FS poets sounding really great one claimed he had a muse then there were eight Eight hopeful bards here in poet's heaven one reversed syntax then there were seven Seven poets writing in meter that clicks one had to insert "did" then there were six. Six eager poets starting to jive one got really trite then there were five. Five poets working with iambic roar one called his dad a brute then there were four Four poets writing with religious glee one was filled with lust then there were three Three poets giving it the best that they could do one harped on his diseases then there were two Two determined poets under the gun one wrote about a sunset then there was one. One haggard poet his race nearly run started writing free verse then there were none.   Recognized Author Notes Oh, chill. Just playing. Sorta thinking about Brooke and her counting poems...
