I like this beautifully written ode to a poet friend. I can tell by your spirited writing that this person was greatly loved and was a very skillful writer. We never know when death will come calling. We just have to believe and trust God and His word and live the best that we can. I enjoyed reading this well written work Jaybird. Well done!

So sorry for your loss. However your sonnet style tribute is both heartfelt and lovely. In the technical sense, it is well constructed with excellent rhyme and smooth flow. As regards content, the message is direct and clear.

Thank you for sharing. May your friend rest in peace.

Blessings, Julia

That is a very solemn and respectful piece. The appeal in the last sentence shows great compassion for the deceased. We would all be fortunate to be remembered as you have remembered your friend. It is an excellent poem. -Robert-

An excellent tribute in rhyme to your friend. We have lost so many who were into poetry in the last year....I guess we should take up the flag and march on....

Once again Sir, you have taken a simple verse and created a beautiful tribute sonnet to a fellow word warrior. Your rhythm and rhyme are excellent, and your message clear and succinct --you inspire me to write more and I thank you for this constant enjoyment that your verses bring

All the Best

A very well-written heartfelt poem about a poet friend that left this world for a better place where he can write more poetry and inspire others with his talents well used.
