Good Evening, Poet
This poem is deeply layered, just as an excellent short form poem should be. I admire your use of "Teacher's lessons tucked inside my passion'. These are powerful lines. Well done.

His inspiration lives on.
Comment from tfawcus
This is a more than usually interesting haijin! There is much knowledge that we store away when pursuing our passions, knowing that it will come in useful sometime, and when it reaches a critical mass we find suddenly that the gradual accumulation can lead to an explosive flowering!

Hi Dallas,
Thanks for adding a chapter to the book, and in the poetic form Alvin loved. I'm glad we got to meet in one of his classes.

Sad that we will never share that same exact experience. He left us a legacy of inspiration.
