I don't know about poetry but he was an actor and was killed in a plane crash. He also was the most decorated soldier in WWII, winning the Medal of Honor, and was underage when he enlisted. He also was a Texan.

The amazing thing about Audie Murphy's personal character was his bravery under enemy fire as demonstrated over and over on the battlefield. This skinny, soft-spoken kid was a natural born killer of Nazi soldiers.
