A Student's Tribute to Wordsworth

[altezon]

Hey fellow poets -- I'm not sure this is in the right place, but here goes:


A Student's Tribute to Wordsworth

O Wordsworth, thou prophet! how generous you seem to me
To share your every priceless thought, saving none for privacy.
Your "impulse from a vernal wood", it must have been a strong one.
Mother Nature blushes at your gaze -- it's been an oddly long one.

You're so much inspiring I find you quite tiring,
Though doubtless you're One Of The Best.
I pray after a time we'll be done with your rhyme
And have laid your Great Works back to rest.

amusing but for me could do with a bit more of his imagery beside the vernal woody

the last stanza is a limerick that works well on its own

thanks for the read.

I'll give that some thought. Needs to be longer don't it?
Of course, by criticizing a real poet I draw more attention to my own faults. Fuggit.

Your love-hate of Wordsworth made me laugh.

A grammar error that tuck out was the first line of the second stanza... "so much inspiring." I think it should either be 'so inspiring' or 'very inspiring'.

A fun read. Thanks for the post!
