Robin Williams, Sad Comedian At Heart

Robin Williams, one of Chicago’s native civilians. Became the best comedian in the late seventies, poor man died from depression’s disease. Known for his “hyper-comedy”, Hook, Patch Adams and Jumanji- though delirious, can be serious, like Dead Poet’s Society. Forever loved, a man nobody hated, a new world of comedy he created! I bet he’s above full of love and laughter; embracing an “Awakening” in the everafter. September 22, 2019 Clerimerick Couplets (Hybrid Form) Poetry Contest Mark Toney

Nice work! Robin had to be THE comic of his generation. His body of work is incredible, and in serious works too, like awakenings. Congrats on your win in the contest, Lu Loo! Cheers, Gershon

I was a big fan of his. You expressed this well and I loved all of those movies. Patch Adam, Dead Poet Society and Hello Vietnam are my three favourites from him. Oh and Good Will Hunting.
