Vignette- a Poet' S Poet

London born,Lancashire bred
Into Chaucer's footsteps,others he led
Medieval prosody,his 'little song' said-
Long may such sonnets be heard
Of the fountainhead of English poetic words.

Tribute to Edmund Spenser 1552-99

That was a very long time ago. I will have to look him up. I remeber the name but not his work. Keep the pen flowing. Sara
