A Tribute To Peter Duggan

A Tribute To Peter Duggan 


What can I say as tribute to this great man
the kindness in his poems just beams out
His great love of Nature, family and life can
cause my heart to rise up and sing out!

First, I saw a man writing with a sweet soul
with clear flowing waters in his stream
Writing about good and even about life's toll
never lets up on heart and mind's dream!

Rivers he knew just like his own huge heart
a man of passion that danced with glee
Yes, he wrote with gold right from the start
honorable man, great poet he surely be!

Love of all life, family and his darling wife
Peter ran a path I dreamed of as well
Never one to mince words about past strife
he inked the page, often giving it hell!

Poetry seemed melted into his Aussie blood
sweet verses he grew as Nature's flowers
Energetic and valiant, no stick in the mud
his poems were all like Spring showers!

Nothing more to say except tribute is sincere
would love to meet he and family some day
Where our gathering would bring all good cheer
Thank God if that blessing came my way!

Hello Robert My Good Friend . . . This is a superb write and tribute to a wonderful poet and man that all who know him like him very much and marvel at the utter perfection of his poetry -- and his undeniable modesty as human being. This should be the SMASH HIT in Silent One's context!! Best of Luck. In my book, it's easy -- It's a 7++ and A FAV!! (I think Peter and Vera will really like your tribute here.) Most Excellent!! Cheers and Best Always, Gary
