I read the poet George Starbuck's obituary in the New York Times today and
based on what I learned there, I wrote a 'Double Dactyl' in his honor,
because he wrote them, among other things.

George Starbuck, twenty-year-
poet-with-Parkinson's
succumbed this week.
Sixty-five years he lived,
double dactyls he wrote,
knew Lowell, Sexton and
Plath. What a clique!
