The Man (A Tribute To Brian Strand)

Gentility and strength Rolled into one A teacher of many Enemy to none Exposing the light Of beauty and heart Guiding the world To explore the arts Ravenous hunger For the finer things Passion and desire Soaring on wings Sharing of self Van Gogh or Monet A writer or painter Poetry or play Find in his words Truth and loyalty He is seen here As if royalty We all know him A wonderful man Poetry Soup’s Sir Brian Strand ~Brian Strand causes many to pause, ponder, and create everyday. I admire his eye for the finer things and the passion for the arts that he not only possesses but shares with the world. There are many wonderfully gifted writers here at the Soup and he encourages all to dig deep and put forth the best of their soul. He is a leader in the community, a true trend setter. I appreciate all that he shares in his poetry and his blogs. He literally challenges me to be a better writer and for that I am thankful. *inspired by Christie Moses Poetry Soup Friend Tributes Contest and of course Brian Strand Copyright © 2009 Lena “Lolita” Townsend
