Poet's When They Die Poem by James McLain

Remarkably the words they write,
women rise and men that fall from grace.
To be remembered by them all.
Sprinting around the world in books they write.
A well turned phrase is like her ankle turned,
the rugged profiles of all the men.
They put their finger on each others point.
The candle when it's gone starlight affects.
Children come from the great beyound,
a father's love to mother said.
Playing at the man a poet is.
When women are much better that's because.
A well turned phrase is like her ankle turned.
