Polymathic Poetry.

I search through the internet 
I look for my first love 
Poetry
She is everywhere 
And when I found her
I could not see her polymathic mentor
So I search again 
Hardly could I see one
Not even in my country 
Or in Africa 
And perhaps beyond 
Lost of decades in search.
Weary times wasted
And lo one 
I found Robert Lee Brewer
World first polymathic Poet
I ever knew 
In the Piece
"List Of 168 Poetic forms for Poets"
Oh I didn't waste tis I scribbled mine
Then to be like him
Perhaps I did
And of course I did
I brought polymathic Poetry 
Into Africa 
A continent where poets 
Says poetic styles and forms
Now outdated and Moribund.
Then I look my mentor 
Robert Lee 
What a honor?
Who knows I brought polymathic Poetry into the continent.
And Nigeria once again snatched history 
By the head
I think 
I love it 
O polymathic Poetry!
