The Most Expensive Poem

Invaluable

What would the most expensive poem be about?

Would it be rhyme or verse?

Or maybe make you want to curse?

Would it be written about money?

Or maybe something funny?

What profound thing would it say?

Would it be written in a day?

Wonder if it would make you ponder

Or make you want to go for a walk yonder

Would it be written in plain ink?

Or slivers of gold?

Fully bold

A story to be told

Maybe in silver

Bronze or onyx

Bronze or copper

Opal

Or titanium ink

Perhaps diamond sparkles

Maybe scribbled in pencil

Splashed in ink

Something to make you think

Even if it was written in invisible ink

Definitely not something that would stink

But something greater than you would ever think

Contemplating this while standing at the kitchen sink

Definitely has to be a special link

It would likely be extensive

Something especially immene

Containing a special message

Indeed impressive

Very expressive

But whatever it would be

Wonder if we will ever see

Or if it will be a decree

Some sort of plea

Not sure if everyone will agree

Maybe it would be a sonnet

Now we might be on it

Could be something short

Or maybe longer

Would need to be a special sort

Make us lost in thought

Hopefully something would be taught

To convey a deep message

Portray an amazing array

Something special on the page

The plot would have the lot

It would entail a great cost

Nothing would be lost

Written extensive

It could become immesive

What an experience it would be

For all to see

No reason to get defensive

But it would have to be impressive

Thus the most expensive poem would be

For Fun
