The Quill Masters

Whitman wrote of a great Captain
                             Keats Ode A Nightingale
                             Frost took The Road Not Taken
                             Donne knew For Whom The Bell Tolls
                             Thomas raged against The Dying Of The Light

                              Like Poe's Raven they are Nevermore,
                              But their works live on evermore.

Timothy Hicks Date: 5/28/2013 12:06:00 AM This was stunning! I have not read some of these classics, but I have mad respect for the ones I have delved into. Loved the originality of this and clever wordplay... going straight to my faves! Login to Reply Kim Morrison Date: 5/28/2013 5:00:00 AM Oh my goodness! Thank You! I wrote this little thing years ago. These are some of my most favorite poets. I capitalized all the quoted material, so this little piece would not be cluttered with quotation marks. I have full collections of Thomas's and Frost's work. Kim

Poet Destroyer A Date: 5/18/2013 8:07:00 PM Hi Kim, i'm not much of a haiku poet. I was happy in supporting Alfred's contest. ~~~ I love the ending, and the quills that have been left behind. What would we be without them. Dylan Tomas and Edgar A Poe.. Robert F... Emily D... the masters in the ring of my mind... xox~ Linda Login to Reply Kim Morrison Date: 5/18/2013 9:01:00 PM Mine too Linda! Poe, Thomas, and Frost alone makes you wonder if what we do is more pure gift than acquired talent. Poe was just left of crazy, Thomas was a profound drunk, and Frost endured many painful moments in his life, but never let it come through his work. kim
