A Poet Duly Enshrined

The memory of the

poor, struggling, inspiring, but now dead poet, 

made eternal muse, by, and for, the 

poor, struggling, aspiring, but living poet:

an existential measure of 

blood, sweat, and tears, of 

mind, body, and soul.

Thanks again for your kind feedback, Maureen. And if you"ll permit me to say so, your "On a poet turning to stone" is brilliant; succinct and intriguingly multifaceted in meaning.
