T.S. ELIOT'S MARRIAGES

With TS. Eliot's sound ear
he is able to make his place
like Lancelot
among his peers
yet around the round table
there was a King Arthur
a rival for a poem's loyalty
the estranged well known Pound
like a pretender to the throne
plotting to change the thunder
of "The Wasteland"
scribbling on
Eliot's first poetry paper,
wanting him as a protege
among pagan dry bones
to reign in a Hades underground,
yet a new Vivienne as a lover
the lady Valerie, Eliot's defender 
appears on Royalty's scene
like a wonder woman Guinivere
who is under cover as a queen.
