Free verse, a tribute to the writers who has had their works acknowledged posthumously.
A homeless man, as he wandered,
on ideas varied
he pondered, scribe on those
discarded bits of paper,
of the varied experience
life offered.
Of romance to delight
and murder, a fright
of the wrath of the dragon,
and tales,
that would enlighten.
An author
of immense fame
his works never lame
an arduous journey
until malady claimed
for then came fame
as he approached oblivion.
Of him sang the old man
daily as he sat
strumming on his guitar
across the town square
