Notes About The Poem

The Man Inside

Robin Williams the first
of his lips humor would burst
he’d blare out Good morning Vietnam
Nanu Nanu a crazed madman I am

Nanu, Nanu! Unforgettable. Thanks for the chuckle and the pleasant memories. Wish Robin had enjoyed the ride as much as his adoring audiences did... G.L. in the contest. :) gw

We lost one of the greats. A very unique talent, indeed. He would've appreciated the pen. Lovely and good luck with the contest.

I had to almost spit out my orange juice when I saw who you chose. My favorite poets are choosing all of my favorite performers in this contest! I am running out of favorites, so doubt I will enter at all.
