Swinging with dozens of antics

With lines carefully drawn
nature studies at dawn

Illustrator Winslow Homer

Depicting the force of nature
with sea studies so real&sure

Also very God-fearing

&thus rhythmic art came to call
He hought colour was so cosmic*

With the stage name “Denver,” beloved poet John
to country, folk and beautiful soft rock was drawn.
“Take Me Home Country Road” made him a star.
What lovely songs for nature he strummed on his guitar!
With the stage name “Denver,” beloved poet John
became a 70’s phenomenon.
To tunes like “Grandma’s Feather Bed” and “Annie’s Song”
his fans would listen and sing along.
With the stage name “Denver,” beloved poet John
crashed his plane one day, and in an instant he was gone.
His art lives on even though no longer can he roam.
How apt his autobiography’s name: Take Me Home.
