s to pheasant

Now there are many poets who write or have written one-line poems, because of the increase in the popularity of them. When compared to Florentin Smarandache, Ion Pillat
was a much more collected person. Pillat's work gave him a reputation
of being a "Beautiful Writer", while Smarandache was more of a harsh writer who wrote in an eager, troubled way. Ion Pillat made a change to the world of poetry, and still to this day, one-line poems are written and read because of the way Pillat introduced them to us.

's grandfather was Ion Brătianu
. It goes without saying that Pillat was named (Ion) after his grandfather. Ion Bratianu's family was very wealthy and grew up in Wallachia, Romania. Bratianu died a few short months after the birth of his grandson Pillat. Although Ion Pillat would not be able to remember his grandfather, there was plenty of stories and history that he would have been told about his special grandfather. Ion Bratianu lived a full life to say the least. Besides the fact that he was born into a wealthy family, he also joined the Wallachian Army where he served for three years. Just like his grandson, Pillat, he studied in Paris
. After serving in the Army
, he then moved to Paris for his education. The most impressive thing about Ion Bratianu
was that he served as the Prime Minister
of Romania
. He was in office from 1881 until 1888. Besides having a fortunate childhood, serving in the Army, ruling over Romania, Bratianu still found time to become a writer. One of his writings was "Musings on the Situation" which he wrote in 1856. For Ion Pillat to have such a talented grandfather, it was easy for him to use that to his advantage. Although Bratianu might have been more well known by the public, they both lived very talented lives, and successful careers.
