An Ode To A Modest Poet Poem by Chuck Audette

Wow, Chuck! This is excellent! I expected a humorous poem which is typical with your wonderful wit, but I found this to be superbly written, showing your breadth. Thanks for a wonderful write about a 'grounded' poet. Have a wonderful evening! Beth

Quite the best review I've seen! Such a wild departure from your usual lighthearted fare, and the high quality of this work belies your own modesty with regard to your own skills. Touching and sensitive words that will sit happily with all that's best in poetry. Thank you :) jack.

Ah, CT... Another side of you, perhaps? I like it very much. Still miss your 'punny' side @ poetry.com. Hope baby and tiles are coming along well.

great wording chuck. love that! the poem could be about you! (but then the title.......) (but then 'double bluff' and trickery......) (but then arghhh.............

I read and re-read this earlier today when I saw it posted as a comment. Love the intensity of this and the classical tone. A superb ode to someone deserving of such praise. Nothing less than brilliant Chuck. Justine.

Your skill and experience prove one point in this poem 'five lines are enough to make a great poem' regards, sathya narayana

A short but sweet poem. Beautiful with a flowing rhythm. Sincerely, Kathleen

True ode...small but smashing content. sathya narayana

Very powerful ode Chuck. I was trying to work out who it is for but I can't, thought I knew but now I think I'm way off track! Brilliant scribing. HG: -) xx
