(With the imminent theatrical release of the 5th movie remake of ‘The Great Gatsby’ I thought I’d pay homage to this youthful writer whose works I admired in my own youth.)
light of the Jazz Age
married to madness
told opulent tragedies
through flaw-footed players
ground between teeth
of failure and feat
gaily tortured, ill-fated
like the man with the
perfect-pitch pen
swimming headlong in booze
filling pauperized pools
of palatial celebrity
both making and breaking
his famous young corpse
Poesy plus Polemics 
Mmm, amazing!
