Nothing more

sorenbarrett

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

    So eloquently written dear friend, in effortless, flowing rhyme from line to line. I love the way you have addressed each beloved poet in terms of such endearment, and humility. Your modesty does you justice, but your talent can't help but shine forth. This is truly a fav!
