Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Remember Robin

"Dead Poets Society" is

A film about coming of age.

Robin Williams, famed in show biz,

Starred as a teacher who'd engage

His young students to "carpe diem,"

To "seize the day," and too he'd read

Dead poets' poetry to them,

Giving inspiration indeed.

Much like the teacher he portrayed,

Robin gave to the cast and crew

A love for life that with them stayed,

Not knowing then what Robin knew.

Even Robin's great wit and skill

Could not outlive depression's kill.
