An eccentric Poet

by

Eddie O'Hara

The falling leaves, impromptu fall
A trees own snippings
Too long, the rank grass sways
Where no tree grows
’Tis bliss, for those who know such
Of nature and of life (First stanza)
_____________________

The above poem became a failure
Causing it’s author to write of a whaler
He’d been called the singular of geese
Until, "The Whaler" was hailed a masterpiece!

Those who scorned his previous try
Read it again, and wondered why
They hadn’t recognised that earlier piece
As surely too, a masterpiece!

Critics admitted they’d gravely erred
They called a meeting_and all concurred
"This poem is the work of a genius eccentric

And typically, it’s incredibly innately poetic!"

Moral: Success can change many opinions.
