POET`S WHO RISE UP FROM THE DEATH

As so often happens with the overlooked,
they are resurrected to life after death,
as a establishment.

The english farmer son and romantic
poet John Clare 1793-1864,
could not get any worse literary basic,
than the one among illiterate farmers
with poor agricultural production,
where he found himself as a prisoner,
forced to work
without joy and appreciation.

From time to time he let his feather pen,
work as a camera,
depicting rural life and landscapes.

With his first collection of poems
"I am" 1848,
he get to know some of the sweetness
and salt of the attention,
as Ikaros swept the wings.

He died of alcoholic diseases
in a mental hospital 1864.
