Pushkin: have you had the pleasure?
No? You've missed a precious treasure.
Peruse his poems if you're doubting,
see for yourself 'bout what I'm shouting!
Pushkin's poems, when you’re broody,
pick you up, and when you’re moody
they snap the melancholic fetter
that binds you, and you feel much better.
Pushkin, was the people's poet,
heroic verse he would bestow it,
in raw, romantic, risqué rhyming
salacious poems he'd been priming.
Pushkin had, for feet, a fetish.
Russian girls he'd called coquettish
their feet, he'd celebrate in sonnets,
ignoring heads bedecked by bonnets!
Pushkin though was only messing.
He thought good cheer he'd give confessing.
His witty wonder words were magic,
till duellist's bullet turned them tragic.

Oh, Thank you. His end was really tragic, like Shelley, Keats and Byron - who I think Pushkin was inspired by. (Byron)
I agree he was heavily
I agree he was heavily influenced by Byron! Imo.
Your language use...
is fine, and the rhythm good.
I like the story; it made me go look at this poet
that I had never heard of before. This poem moves right along and
tells the story of his rise and fall. A rhymer of the first order,
I am impressed. You have emulated him and told his story well.
