John Heck

Born and raised in Brooklyn, with a poetic heart to write. Anticipated in making friends, all poetic forms bring him delight. With a love for ice skating, at the Franconia Notch Lakes. Inspiration is set to verse, from the photographs he takes. He winds down with opera music, Carmen and Turandot are his fav’s. With a natural love for writing, his poetic words get great raves. Enveloped by English gardens, and spending time in museums. A yearning for reading poetry, led to spending time in athenaeums. His stomach has it‘s craves, and asks for Italian delicacies. Being with family and friends, are his utmost priorities. Ann Sexton & Ogden Nash, are his timeless inspirations. Annie Lennox, a favorite musical, concludes this dedication. With sincere gratitude, and poet-to-poet respect. I chronicled the honest likings, of poet, Mr. John Heck. ________________________ Dedicated to a fellow Souper, John Heck for his support.

Dear Mr. Moreno - (or as they say in Who-ville - "R-WHO-L"). Thank you so much for your inspired write. LOL! Yep! You definitely captured my nut-shelled essence and I am extremely honored. LOL! Honored & blushing. This BKLYN boy, believe it or not, gets embarrased easily...but, you know what?...not this time around...I so appreciate your thoughtfulness...R-wHO-L...you made me smile today. Such a gentleman are you. Such a feeling poet too! Peace, happiness and hugs, John.
