There are many a muse over the years
That have inspired me
This was one of the many
I pick up a poetry book,
To lift my spirits higher,
And takes me out of the mire.
A very good read,
That my mind it does feed.
By Thomas Ingoldsby Esquire;
With many a humorous fact,
Of life looking back. Indeed:
Dare I say that keep me enthralled,
Warms my mind when It's cold.
A literal giant amongst men,
Who I wish that I could call as a friend;
Who inspires me to write,
poetic verse day or night.
Which I will continually do till my end:
On this poetry site me with little voice,
I wrote for the editors choice.
Don't wish to sound mean,
To share one of his poems.
Raven of Rheims:
But it got lost in the ether of time
So it seems another one of my squashed dreams.
Richard Harris Barham
Aka Thomas Ingoldsby Esquire

Sincerely yours till the crack of death

That have inspired me
This was one of the many
A LITERAL GIANT
When I'm feeling croak:I pick up a poetry book,
To lift my spirits higher,
And takes me out of the mire.
A very good read,
That my mind it does feed.

Of life looking back. Indeed:
Dare I say that keep me enthralled,
Warms my mind when It's cold.
