Poetry Pangea

Once upon a distant time

The world was one in prose and rhyme

But drifted slowly far apart

and shook the poets' tender heart.

So many miles across we spread

As further still the countries fled.

Alone, within a distant land

And nothing but a pen in hand...

After time to hone our art

Years older, though still years apart.

A hand appeared, cast out the rope

And, with it, brought a ray of hope.

Poets far had seen the sign

Brought, perhaps, by the divine.

A stable world, built not on rocks

But wrought instead on chain of blocks!

With this new versatility

We look to build community

So join us in majestic flight!

Our battle cry "Poets unite!"

Thank you for reading

This post was made for this contest and, of course, to promote Steemit Poets United! Go and check it out if you want to be part of a burgeoning community of poets and writers!

For anyone interested in Pangea, it was the name given to the land mass that drifted apart to create the world as we know it today. The world may have drifted apart, but for thousands of years people have been stitching it back together with technology!

P.S. In the interest of transparency I've used @minnowbooster to promote this post. I want people to see the Poets United community!
