I saw this before and i hope you entered it into my uncontest. I am surprised that fewer than 30 people have done a tribute with the contest closing in just a few days! By the way, are you the one who mentioned Hilo poet to me? yes, I wonder where that guy is/?? I hope he is ok

A magnificent ode to a cherished companion of mine, one that I hold in high esteem. It is evident that you shared a special bond with Harry! Though his passing cannot be considered untimely, it came much quicker than we anticipated. It is with great sorrow that we have lost several fellow poets in just a brief span of one year! Your tribute to Harry, our esteemed veteran poet, is truly touching, dear Michael.

Thank you my friend. It was shocking to read of his passing, it has been a bad year or two for loosing wonderful human beings. What a year it has been. I pray and hope it gets better my friend. We can always have hope... Thanks for your special visit my friend...

Hey Vijay. How are you my friend? It is terribly sad when we lose a friend that we have interacted and gotten to know through their comments and Poetry. Harry like you and other wonderful writers are part of a intimate family here on the Soup. Demetrios Triafitis is another friend. I know you are a loyal fan of His Vijay. You are always commenting on his works and it reflects the close relationship you have for him. As you felt for Demetrios I also felt for Harry. How can you not love both of these fine men. Thank you for stopping by and as always you are a welcomed friend. Godbless you Vijay...

a beautiful poem Michael, Harry would be skyping me now and asking me if I had read it, then he would chuckle and shake his shoulders in appreciation. Mandy x

Wow Mandy thank for sharing that special comment. You and Harry were very close. It is wonderful in our lifetime to have close genuine friends. You were fortunate to know him and have a personal friendship with Harry. A great friend you were to him sharing your Poetic abilities and being there for one another even when Harry moved to Australia. I want to thank you for your efforts in keeping us informed and being their for Harry and his family. God bless you for being a caring soul...
