Ginsberg Is Gone

The fantastic 
writings 
          of Allan 
remain 
   but he is gone
do you remember 
    seeing him?
He traveled the 
  world in search 
of the perfect 
   poem
The waters of the East River
     still flow
and the old 
Gotham city 
     still stands 
tall
    Do you think you would like to 
join in on the 
  parade of poets?
Well pick up 
     a pen
  and let your 
thoughts appear
    on the page
We're waiting to hear from you!

It is why we write. A chance to know our words live on long after we've left. His will linger forever. God Bless. Vince

Hello dear Matthew. I am unfamiliar with this writer but I will look him up - part of what I love about this site is how much I learn from other poets. A wonderful tribute, as your poetry never disappoints. Will also have to check out that magazine! Happiness and good health to you and yours in the new year. Love, Shar
