A Poet's Poet

Inspired by 
and dedicated to 
Robert Nehls
A poet's Poet

My hat is clearly off to you
And so is my toupee 
For all the inspiration 
You've given me today

I'm gonna write with feeling
And words that are divine
To write a magic recipe
An Opus for all time

But, at that, I know I'm sure
No matter what I do
I always take my hat off
Reading poem wrote by you
