Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

World Series of Poets

A.R. Ammons on the mound
Auden on the mound
Ginsberg on 1st
Frost on second
Carl Sandburg on third
Ferlinghetti at short
Right Field - Wordsworth
Left field - Shelly 
Blake - Center field
Shakespeare  - Catcher
Have I dropped enough 
names for you?
What's so bad about
being a name dropper?
The game is on 
Unfortunately my team 
is losing
But with poetic talent
They may yet
Eke out a victory
Postscript  - They just won!
