This is a well written, a poem about a man who and a lot of the world. I enjoyed reading it. Your rhyming was wonderful and writing was good, and it flows well when I read aloud.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I admire Oscar for his wit and sensibility! He may have been a homosexual but he gave to the world his wit and wisdom of being true to himself! I loved his poetry and he was a great playwright even though he espoused deviant ways for the time period he was in, he was a true leader among the living and he gave so much to the art world! His life will always be remembered as a leader and a lover of life!

Comment from Ginda Simpson
This is a well-researched and well-written poem. Thanks to your efforts we get to know aspects of Oscar Wilde's character and his life. I like the way you incorporated the essence of some of his quotes. These help create a portrait in words.

Thank you so much, Ginda, for this lovely rating and your thoughtful comments. Yes, I did start off trying to incorporate the quotes verbatim but that just wasn't going to happen! He's just too good for that! Take care. Debbie
Comment from Jim Wile
This was an excellent poem, Debbie, about a very wise and humorous individual. As a society, we certainly have come very far in our understanding and tolerance toward gay people, and it's a shame he didn't live in our time. You did a great job with your paraphrasing and captured his wit and style beautifully in this well written poem with perfect rhyme and meter. Outstanding job and congratulations on the milestone. Jim
