Ode To John Posey

He was one of the poets featured in "Featured Poets" of the week and when I read his writing it was as though I heard him speak. So I chose a link to follow him reading every poem he wrote He didn't disappoint me and I loved each word he spoke. As a 'newbie' to this gathering of wordsmiths round the sphere I chose him as 'first favorite' of poets I could follow here. But the first thing that I noticed was the last poems listed here he hadn't written anything for much more than a year. I admit my heart was saddened as a first thought drifted in what if I was too late to follow my new favorite and his pen? I'm smart enough -sure old enough to know when something's wrong A poet writes until the end only death can stop his song. I base this on the note he wrote in the next to his last poem "I'm writing this as tribute to the servers in my Assisted Living home." Perhaps I'm wrong in assuming that I found him much too late and if I wish to follow him I'll have to meet him at The Gate.
