Only Harry

Only Harry Could find “Love in The Kitchen Sink” I love the way he looks at the world and the things he makes me think A single sip is not satisfactory I recommend a big drink Not “A One Hit Wonder” All his messages interlink “The Road Is Long” “Traveling From The Fields of Grief” His thoughts offer comfort a path to relief. His is a “Significant Pen” That writes “Naked Words” He travels his own way Not one prone to follow herds Whether “Whispering Ferns” Or “A Little Girl Once Lost” He weighs his words carefully Aware of their cost One “Waits Upon The Horizon” For “A Magical Spring” Make No Mistake That isn’t a small thing “There Is A Place” Where “A House Divided falls” He can “Colour Me Lilac” As I’m absorbed into walls “The Blue And The Grey” The “Lady Down The Lane” I learn about humanity As he reveals their pain A “Voice In The Wilderness” Who’s “Coming Of Age” He will answer “A Worthy Question” With the words on his page Dedicated to Harry Horseman. Written using titles from some of his poems.

Harry sounds like a really nice person, a good person. I shall find out more about him. I am intrigued, by "This Significant pen" I was glad to have found your Old Harry poem.

Harry Horseman is indeed one of our very best on soup, he is a gentleman to his fingertips, but there again, all good people come from Yorkshire In England, as did my dad which makes me half a Yorkshire lass! Great poem, true wrods, and thoughtfully and creatively created Rick, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

That was a really cool thing you did using his titles. I seem to recall someone did this for me a long time ago. It may have been some contest idea a sponsor had, and I remember creating my own poems a few times by using titles of my own poetry or of others. What a fun way to write!!

You know our harry well, Richard and for one as respected as you are as a poet to write this piece about him is an excellent tribute. You cannot find a better poet to use, his words always have a deep meaning. I always like your work and do check in now and then but rarely comment.xx
