Go. Be a legend,
If you think the red-end
Is within reach.
But, boy, be sure to bold a show;
Because the middle-green is given to teach
That cheap couldn’t hope to breach it.
No legend came by it ignobly.
So watch the let-in;
Hellish haunts are fastened
To, count them, each
And every turned-back buckle-blow.
‘Cause life ain’t no verdant, evergreen beach;
Just dunes should you overreach it.

Thank you, my friend. Poetry, at times, can be monotonous. Experimenting with the space that frames it is my attempt, even if feeble, to make it less so.
