Shakespear\'s light, a star
glimmers unreachable, too far
Wordsworth such humble poetry
Browning\'s enlightenment of slavery
Kipling and his stories
Longfellow and his glories
In poems I\'m a dabbler
in appellations a babbler
From the cliffs of Whitman so tall
I trip, stumble and fall
Here I lay down below
no Pheonix, just a dim glow
