Let The Dead Poet Sing Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Let The Dead Poet Sing

Rating: ★5.0


O' let the dead poet sing
Leonard, sing us a tune of
Sadness and love
Let the bells of Jerusalem
Ring out for new words
Please, as I pray for you
Tell me, has death been good?
I'll wait for the answer
In the meantime, I will write poems
Of darkness and love
Carrying on yr tradition

You bring to mind 'living like nothing matters.' Cohen would approve. Fantastic verse, LeeAnn.

Beautiful, LeeAnn. Leonard was a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, among other honors.

Outstanding tribute to one of my all-time favourites. As I'm writing this, I'm wearing a t-shirt with him on it.
