I think this is a good 5 Line Poem Contest entry.
It is a lovely tribute to your friend, I'm sorry that he is lost to us all.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

A lovely tribute, I'm sure he would be honoured by it.

A wonderful image of a person living on through their words.

Very well written, take care.

    Thank you for your kind review. I originally wrote the last line to read: May your words endure... but reconsidered as to regard ?endure? as to live on is not readily recognized... Challenging!

    I think I like 'live on', best, it suggests a kind of immortality, rather than simply not going away (if that makes sense :) ) -James

Your 5-line poem is heartfelt Diane and when I read your notes a tear came to my eye, you met someone very precious here on Fanstory where we meet and communicate and have similar thoughts, I wish you well and look forward to reading more of your work if you now have more time to post. Beautiful words in tribute to Alvin, love Dolly x

This is a very nice and well written five line poem dedicated to Alvin! I liked him too as a writer. He was a really neat person. You used very good wording and great imagery from the art work! Blessings, Teri

Fine tribute to Alvin. He is missed by many. I thought it a nice gesture to choose him for this contest. I knew him even before coming to FS, from a different poetry site. He loved words, and especially haiku, with intensity! Lovely artwork choice too.

Nice to see you posting here again!

Blessings,

    Thank you for your thoughtful review, rama devi.
    This contest is a take on Alvin's beloved haiku.
    So numbing to think that had I stayed in touch.........
