What do you think this poem is about?

John Keats (A bright star)

Ye unblessed being
Born in despair
Afore blooming fully
Was eclipsed by death cruelly

Though had a little past in poesy Art
Yet Great and Grand, ceased to be lost
Ah! Grief came to you as luxury
Indeed beauty dwells with melancholy

You're wrong when you stated
'My name was write in water'
Behold! Like a Polar Star at night
Make sensations dark illuminated

A Dime-god of a sensuous claim
Bereaved, bereft and lost
Words those you sweetly glossed
Mistook by and harshly exclaim

Your sweetly tuned phrases
Are symbol of high Romance
That brings every soul in trance
And halt a thousand gazes

An ardent lover and a true Romantic
Like a Sappho you're marked as sensuous
But thy lyrics sweets are more precious
Enough to make tender hearts frantic

    Wow. This is a wonderful poem in tribute to a wonderful poet. Yes he died soon but people love him is not sympathy. He truly represented beauty. He had the ability to make rough attractive. He could see beauty behind everything. He was special in language use. A true Romantic.
    You ave done extremely well. The language of your poem is very much up to the theme of the poem. The rhythm is typically Gulsherian. I liked the rhyming. You are a true poet. You always leave mysteries for your readers to have a go at your lines and draw something out of it. Great Job. I can sense in you someone we can be proud of. We already are though.

    I loved the last four lines. The Allusion on Sappho is very to the point. |

    Great work.... Keats was the one who could touch the soul through words.. Unfortunately he had to face so many hardships but which, as I think, really brought the hidden tressure of poetry out of him... Subject to unjust criticism and condemnation he did not change his write and proved himself to be the real polar star in the realm of poetry... His sensuousness gave him track to reach to the inner beauty of things.. A person who looked for truth and beauty in every object of nature... A person with a true romantic spirit...The rhythm is perfect and the thought flows like a river into the sea.
    Diction really fits the idea.(y) Great write dear Gulsher.... I give U 10 out o 10
