Zen Ken

Poem

Kady Birdwhistle
Ken is zen, we all know him, he's always rather proper but not prim, but don't ever forget he's no shrinking lotus, he's ZEN,
He the calmest of thunderstorms we call men, everyone sees him as Mr. Coffee the name is actually Friend, words never shatter they bend.
Crying people gotta laugh with smiles he sends, those bleeding hearts won't ever mend, Ken's light is out of the bushel it's not dim.
If you want to know Zen of the Ken turn the page, He's not snobby actor on the life's stage, as always he's the clever calm suitable sage.
Let's never get out of the Ken phase, It's the most fuzzy fun leaving us in a daze, Leading into a poetic party pretty perfect dazzling maze.
Pat him on the back when he stays, His words written on the page tasted better than fillets, A zen tree in the Buddah land Ken sways.

So now he is here, Lend him your poetic ears, The zen is still here. Do not ever fear, Because Zen Ken is now near, his words are so clear.

Okay, Ken, I tried your form on this one. Let me know what you think!
