Dead Poet Society

Nestled deep
Within the most
Private compartment ...
Of my mind
Lies verse
Of the dead poets
That so eloquently
Soothes this novice
The narrator
Is Robin
Who I imagine
Graces the class
Room with
charisma
That masks
The pirates
Of depression
That pilgrimaged
and terrorized his soul
I still hear his voice...
As a young man
His actor’s
interpretation on how
A mentor can
Inspire literature
On a generation
The performance
Shook me..,,,,,
He was supposed
To be just
A comic
A jester
To the Hollywood
Kingdom
Oh how wrong
We were.......
Hemingway
Plath
Poe
Are just a few that
Line the book
To many
Of the young readers
That filled his audience
And
Though in the end
sadness
Plagues the pages
Of the dead poet society
Somehow I find solace
Meditating on these
Characters
Maybe they are the guide
To what still may be.......
