Admirable take, but one with mixed and uncertain results;

    I am ashes where once I was fire,
     And the bard in my bosom is dead

To The Countess of Blessington

~ Mad, bad, & dangerous aka George Gordon, Lord Byron

You have to do your own due diligence here. Prefer poets whose words flow like a stream; avoid those known to set the hearts of their readers ablaze.
