Treasured tropes of verse are here,\\
and each new type supported\\
by choice examples from the past,\\
with every entry sorted.

With rhymes that are purple,\\
And structures that lurk, all\\
hidden in overlong stanzas;\\
When it's prose versus verses\\
Then follow the hearses.\\
For now, you're no longer in [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Kansas]].

Perhaps you [[Creator/AndrewMarvell Marvell]] what's been [[Creator/JohnDonne Donne]]!\\
Perhaps Creator/LewisCarroll-ing in the aisles.\\
Read [[Creator/JamesJoyce Joyce]]! Speak [[Creator/JonathanSwift Swift]]! The language [[Creator/RobertBurns Burns]],\\
The [[Creator/EdgarAllanPoe Poe]]-faced and the [[Creator/WHAuden Auden]]-ry.\\
New [[Creator/RobertFrost Frost]]. Old [[Creator/LangstonHughes Hughes]]! The mind discerns\\
examples that had ought-to-be.
