Notes About The Poem



 

Of Gregory R Barden

A poet
               par excellence.
                    A pen's
            best friend. He has...
          kind puppy-dog eyes
                  his poems
                     dazzle;
               blows the mind
                     and his
                 writing style,
                   distinctive,
         He's the next best thing
               to Pablo Neruda.
                           a 
              wonderful human!

I agree Edward, to me he is Pablo, Byron and Yeats combined, yet with a uniqueness that is defined by only his talent with a gilded pen that leaves we poets in awe! You have written a gorgeous tribute that shines a spot light on the Bard! Congratulations on your wonderful deserving win! You are both amazing poets who inspire! xxoo
