Nice Bio Poem on Harry Chapin. I loved the song Cat's in the cradle it has A WONDERFUL MESSAGE. I wasn't aware of all the things he did as shown in a biography of his life I did not realize he was a poet though it didn't surprise me.
thanks for sharing this lovely tribute poem.

Very nice poem flows well and is a great tribute to Harry Chapin. I've always loved his songs, too. Your poem flows well and tells an impressive story. I appreciate the interesting author's notes. I don't see anything that needs to be corrected.

A very fine tribute to an infamous writer/ singer. I enjoyed reading your authors notes as much as I enjoyed reading your very well constructed poem. Don and Vicki

Hello. I am the one who created this contest. This is the sort of thing I was looking for. My poem focused on the individual. You did more by relating how the person you wrote of affected you personally. Very well done.

I am a big fan of Harry. I loved the way he could craft a song. He was taken way too soon.
I like your poem and the way the rhyme sings.
Thank you for sharing.
Good luck
Dan

The author notes are great - they validate the 'authentic' sincerity in the free verse lines.

A great tribute to someone who's so evidently touched your life.

Hope you've had a good week. Best wishes for the contest.

I enjoyed your hommage to a great man here. I have to admit I hadn't heard of him, but I'm always interested in finding out about people like this so I really appreciated the notes too. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
