Just That Archaic Poet

On a peaceful isle of your hammock Bring me notes from an old guitar That I may share euphoric thoughts Embracing a geek in silence. Past Tolkien's edge, a rite I bless While on sweet trail, God's pentagram lights optical dreams to refine, This after-life’s soft artistry. Pour down on me, my brother Chan, and fire my breath with your warm torch; for an archaic rhymer glides To nurture joy, fresh on my mind. Cyndi Mac Millan's A Word Collage For Chan Hurst by nette onclaud

Chan's inspiring presence will be felt for a long time. He sure made a positive impact on us during the short time that he was here... This was a beautiful poem for Chan. He had a hidden tender side, so I think he would've enjoyed this tribute! Very nicely done, Nette!

Love this, Nette, because it is both so him and so you. Thank you, Soul Sis. I feel in my heart of hearts that he'd have loved this, because of its tender portrayal. It has his spirit (pour down on me, indeed!). Love sent to you. I'm having a crazy-good weekend, helping family -- come Monday, life should settle a bit, here. xoxox Cyndi

Deep and fervent offering for Archaic Poet Chan who was a driving force on this site. I commend you, Nette as I was touched by your exquisite poem.

The words Cyndi gave for us to use were the kind that are so inspiring to free verse poets like you, Nette. I fear I can never do for this kind of contest what you and others I have seen are doing. VERY nicely done. It evokes such a beautiful memory of our friend Chan.

I remember Chan but had no opportunity to connect with him. Liked his blogs and your stirring poem is a heartfelt tribute for our colleague on Soup, Nette
