I decided to be a male homosexual poet in the piece

Interesting. Many websters beyond the blogosphere consider “Studying Savonarola, he considers his lover as kindling” the greatest free verse poem of our time. It was written by a [heterosexual] woman, Margaret A. Griffiths, giving voice to a gay man’s infatuation with Girolamo Savonarola.
