A CLASSICAL RHYME.

A for Anne Sexton, again and again! The love and the anger had come back again! B for Bob Dylan, ballad of a thin man! Walk into a room with a pencil in your hand! C for Charles Baudelaire, am not shore on his French! D for Dylan Thomas, that child's Christmas made sense! E for Edgar Allan Poe Annabel Lee! It was a many a many a year ago, in a kingdom by the sea! F for Francisco de Quevedo, the Spanish I couldn't understand! G for George Eliot, her proper names Mary Anne! H for homer the Iliad book 13! Wolfs in the Forrest, and the battle could be seen! I for Isabella Velancy Crawford, A Harvest song! Her poetry was so lovely, and nothing spelt wrong! J for Jim Morrison, My bestest poet of all! Is music is "king" his rock stood so tall! K for Kahlil Gibran, I awaken I stare at the sun! An artist, a poet, a writer, but sadly all his works been done! L for Lewis Carrol, the hunting of the snark! M for Matsuo Basho, the true master of his heart! N for Nizar Qabbani, a poet that was so sweet! A diplomat a publisher, I hope you R.I.P. O for Oscar Wilde, in the good room - A Harmony! Ivory hands, on the Ivory keys! Strayed in a fitful fantasy! P for Pablo Picasso, the morning of the world! A painter, a sculptor, a print maker, a ceramicist not known to us all! Q for Quincy Troupe, skulls along the river! What a greater poet, and what a greater performer! R for Robert Frost, nothing gold can stay! 1864 - 1963! S for Sylvia Plath, she wrote love is a parallax! She also got found with her head in the oven, the poor soul died of inhaling gas R.I.P T for Ted Hughes, a poet and children's writer! U for all you poets! Your futures looking brighter! V for Victor Hugo, the grave and the Rose! He wrote about the Dews of dawn! And always mentioned his Rose! W for William Shakespeare, a poet that he was! He'll be up there somewhere special! Playing and writing for the Gods! X for --xtra space, I couldn't leave it blank! Y for Yoda Buson! And Z will have to stay blank-----------
