topical verse?

Do you mean like in topical dressing? Poems that you place on a patch of damaged skin? Are we talking about holistic medicine? Are poems homeopathic? If you dip one in some beer, does the beer retain a trace memory of it, so when the beer's drunk the poem gets into the system and can be recited ad hoc (add hops?). Or as in Seven Seas Dressing for Supercilious Ballads at the Waldorf and Garfunkle. Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to stumble over things I can't see in you again. Next time you'll hear the sound of my night vision camera.

It's all about global warming, tropical worse is a consequence of too many cows farting. That causes vicious hurricanes in Florida and redistributes all the expat Brits to Haiti, Bhutan and West Baghdad.

It's those darned figures of speech again, innit?
The Tropes. Bundles of methane is what they are.
Dunno why someone doesn't get rid of global warming by firing heat-seeking missiles at it. Problem solved if they did that.

Let's start tagging poets so we know where they all are. Let's have doors that only open when triggered by these tags. Let' s also have hidden trapdoors. The technology's already out there. Let's have an automatic public announcement when a tagged poet crosses a threshold. Let's make them wear billowing cloaks with small wind machines strapped to their oxters to make the cloaks billow even when they stand in motionless contemplation. Let's have them line up at dawn and dusk on the horizon like a low roofed city that girdles the earth. Let's make jam from their sayings.

Ah I see it now how its starting
Plugging cows arses to stop them farting
While we ground the plains and keep the masses
On the ground as Ryanair holds their passes
And the EcoNazis lecture all
"Is this really needed?" out they'll call
A holiday you worked and paid for?
Think of the damage you done to the earth while working, or
If you had stayed dossing on the dole
No eco sins would be on your soul...
