Ode To a Poet

He pens a world of stories bold
From history, his inspirations, told.
Stories passed down through the years.
Some bring laughter, some bring tears.

Fascinating to me , they are,
These tales of worlds from afar.
I am in awe at his way with stories,
Tales of lands and foreign glories.

A poet of remarkable skill,
Each tale I read, a riveting thrill.
Shared for enjoyment, not for wage.
His talent displayed on every page

A very nice way to describe someone with your descriptiveness and rhyming. Are you ever going to let us know to whom you have written this ode?

Loved it - it is about any particular poet?

This is how I think of some of our poets from other countries. The tales they share with us are remarkable and we learn so much from them. Awesome poem, Francine! Love, Carolyn
