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! 08-04-2015 Silent One Contest Name-- Tribute Enter Poetry Contest Deadline 9/2/2015 12:00:00 AM

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
