Final Salute To An Alliterative Warrior

W  afting wonder world-wide
A   stonishing, astounding artistry
R   apier-like Rennaisance rhymes
R   enascent, radiant resonance
I    ndigo inkwells of incense
O   mniscient, omnipotent originality
R   evered, redoubtable Romantic 


   Fly to Heaven on poetic wings
        My friend, Our friend
            Winged Warrior

Such heartfelt words honoring WW Gershon. This is wonderful tribute and a celebration of him as friend, poet and valued member of PS. I hope this becomes a POTD or POTW as all really should remember WW through your words and their memories!

Thanks for your encouragement, Sam. I'd settle for POTN, Poem of the Night. lol... WW was such a genius at alliterative poesy... And a fine fellow to boot... Peace, Gershon

Thank you so much, Alexis, although I so wish that the FAVE were not associated with the loss of WW's life. He was a uniquely gifted poet and will be missed! Peace Gershon
