A Tribute To Harry Horsman

The last poem Harry Horsman wrote,
posted at PS is worthy of taking note.

The Haiku held my attention, greatly impressed
by its unique title and the sentiment expressed.

I write this to articulate my modest tribute,
now that the eloquent poet has become mute.

His poem “Thwarted” reads as follows,
in his PS page as listed shows.

clement moons lose glow... 	
sun rises dries dewy tears 
heart of mist broken © Harry J Horsman 2023.

The poem earned the well-deserved POTD
with its subtle and magnificent imagery.

The elegant use of words for the poem to fill,
displays his creative penman’s excellent skill.

The moving emotions touch and deftly flow,
personified with the metaphoric innuendo.

Like many poets you’ve also gone away,
dear Harry, rest in eternal peace, I pray.
