I want to be known by one name
Like Dessalines, Christophe and Pétion
Like Pelé, Ali or a Great Champion
Like Edison, Jefferson and Washington.
I want to be known by just a name
By my pretty and sweet surname
Like Spring, the most gorgeous season
Like Tiger, Peacock and Lion.
Everyone knows you a surname
When we have only one name
As Pope, Love and Peace
Like Michel, Catullus and Plautus.
I want to be known by a wise name
Like Hébert, Vertières and Liberty
Like Flaubert, Hugo, and Shelley
Like Baudelaire, Angelou and Mallarmé.

Writing poetry draws one within
allowing the inward self to demonstrate
all that's been down there deep and dark
making your light shine before its too late
Irritation is a descriptive word
one that we all seek to emulate
it tasks our mind to our extreme
pointing higher worthy to contemplate
Consider the classical violinist supreme
who has a true ever living ear
but the challenge of quality reproduction
making the fingers touch without fear
But these fingers have a mind of their own
which can stop any reproduction
no matter how the sound comes over
it all continued under construction
The frustrations of a poetic writer
causes irritation within the grey matter
but there's hope with a capital H
inspiration comes to get one on a starter
'Quote:
" I am irritated by my own writing. I am like a violinist whose ear is true, but whose fingers refuse to reproduce precisely the sound he hears within."
- Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) French Novelist.

" Imbecile is the one who doesn't ponder
same as mine ... "so said
Flaubert ...
Not being an imbecile and not
thinking exactly equal to him,
I wonder:
They would all be imbeciles, or the
imbecile am i ...!?
Or he ...!?

Madame Bovary is the première novel of French writer Gustave Flaubert, published in 1856. It tells the melancholy story of the entitled marriage into a lackluster middle-class lifestyle that ends in tragedy.
Docteur Bovary: Blessed Are The Meek.
Yet was oft-mocked, a humble sort,
Subsist med recruit, 2nd strength,
Officier in Public Health grants.
Weds Dubuc, whom his mother grants,
Meets Emma Rouault whom his sort,
Héloïse dies courts Emma, strength.
A doctor of meager practice strength,
Is compassionate and bored grants,
Lacking enterprise ought to sort.
Clueless sort, strength was debted
Emma and grants's her owning
dalliances by various men
justified as being fate.
