I

It’s little known that Robert Frost

Worked in a golf club’s Found and Lost

Where one day he said to the pro

Whose woods these are I think I know.

II

Emily Dickinson tore out her hair –

Insomnia caused her the deepest despair,

But after a down pillow made her life better

She realized that hope is the thing with feathers.

III

When Dylan Thomas was only a tyke

His Dad would caution his Mom:

When she went to Dyl’s room to snuff out his light,

She must be unyielding and strong.

Do not give in, he’d hear his Dad say,

Do not let him put up a fight,

No matter how much he rage and rage

Do not go gentle into that good night!
