Beautiful Scars Poet Clerihew

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.
