To John Keats
by James Shammas (Age: 44)
copyright 06-27-2005


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
I never saw a nymph or dryad fly
Through forest glen or sun-streaked glade,
Or heard dancing maidens in gold brocade,
Festooned with flowers and garlands of rye.
The nightingale never stood and sang on high
Outside my window in the balmy shade,
Leading me to places, unafraid--
To the verdant pasture or starry sky.
No, I sat still in silent reverie,
Then read of your sweet dear 'Endymion,'
Heard the shepherd's pipe high behind me
And felt feathers soft of each gold pinion.
Over the Spanish Steps they lifted me,
Your Muse and I aloft in gentle union.

It is often said the writer lives by those who can carry his voice, you have transferred a bit of his spirit. excellent write Walt

Keats is one of my favorite poets, his "To Autumn" is probably one of the ten poems I love most. You have written a tribute that does him justice and is absolutely beautifully written. You did him proud, Jim. If this be the product of writer's block how can I become afflicted?
