Classic and Contemporary Poetry

TO A POETICAL CORRESPONDENT; EPIGRAM by JOHN GODFREY SAXE

First Line: ROSE HINTS SHE ISN'T ONE OF THOSE
Last Line: YOU'LL FIND HIS GENIUS QUITE DIVINE!
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;
ROSE hints she is n't one of those
Who have the gift of writing prose;
But poetry is une autre chose,
And quite an easy thing to Rose!
As if an artist should decline,
For lack of skill, to paint a sign!
But, try him in the landscape line,
You'll find his genius quite divine!
