Portrait of a Lost Poet (edit 2)

[LorettaYoung]

You can do what you want. It just seemed to me you needed a longer line to express what you wanted to without have to write tortured phrases. Plus there are the lines which far exceed four feet

"The likes of Shakespeare, Miller, Williams, Sartre (5)
Socially, as if on stage, he flourished words of art" (7)

BU tortured I mean lines like:

"With charm he seeks to stature win."

Just a thought,

Dale

HI Dale: Like your line; better than mine; was wondering that I should make the meter consistent throughout. Thanks for your help and time. Loretta
