Death of a Poet

A man of artistic nature
swept homeward heaven's way
a poet whose life on earth is done
now setting stage in heaven's domain.

Rest in peace fellow poet John Heck

John was a brilliant poet with many talents. Thank you for your lovely tribute to him Phyl. He would find this endearing. A great loss to our poetry world. His words will live on. May he enjoy the afterlife and his words give comfort to his family and friends. Blessings xxoo

I am sorry that he died> I never got to know him but at one time, I guess he had been active here (before I came along). Are you able to do posts at blogs? Would you like me to blog this for you if you are unable to? Let me know by Soupmail, dear.
