illia

The poet

An ode to one who inspired

My soliloquy for the linguistic magician

My reason for these words

Poet extraordinare Benjamin

Thoughts with words fly from his mind

Sailed forward for all to hear

Rhythmic time and dulcit tone

Amazement, emotive, true and clear

Much more a Shakespeare

Eclipsing the John Donne

More than any Wordsworth

No less a human man

Once lived,now universal

Travelling through space and time

Light, shinning star\'s brighter,                                       ONE                Benjamin Zephaniah ..
