 If truth is beauty, beauty truth
 Just as the poet said[i],
 Then patterned sense in research
 Can be sewed by lyric thread.
 
 Mad Poets Rotorua is
 The topic of this story,
 Acknowledging that all research
 Is largely allegory.
 
 The group has met religiously
 Since Nineteen Ninety-Four
 Enabling some to read their poems
 Who’d never read before.

 Emerge in all that follows,
 While these are mine, there will be those
 That you my reader hallows.
 
 [i] John Keats’ famous conclusion to “Ode on a Grecian urn”, slightly paraphrased.
