Life: a Poet's Journey

He's like a cowboy on his horse.
He trailed through plain and bumpy course,
but when it comes to poetry,
he was to reckon as a force.  

He painted life in past and present.
He made it gross and made it decent, 
but as a poet braving time, 
his works were simply magnificent. 

His life of salt and pastry 
was reflected in his poetry 
like a window to the past;
a taste of life's reality.
