JOHN DONNE

With metaphysical wit
and his own conceit
his loyalty changes
while he on his feet

Kneeling with regret
kept in bitter secrets,
claiming he changes none
of the church's holy writ,

Yet as Royalty exchanges
in his search for the Lord
some may say the poet
Donne was estranged,

Between challenged tares
wheat ,sun or chaff
one wonders the reward
for the Doctor's last laugh.
