The Man (A Tribute To Brian Strand)
Gentility and strength
Rolled into one
A teacher of many
Enemy to none
Exposing the light
Of beauty and heart
Guiding the world
To explore the arts
Ravenous hunger
For the finer things
Passion and desire
Soaring on wings
Sharing of self
Van Gogh or Monet
A writer or painter
Poetry or play
Find in his words
Truth and loyalty
He is seen here
As if royalty
We all know him
A wonderful man
Poetry Soup’s
Sir Brian Strand
~Brian Strand causes many to pause, ponder, and create everyday. I admire his eye for the
finer things and the passion for the arts that he not only possesses but shares with the world.
There are many wonderfully gifted writers here at the Soup and he encourages all to dig
deep and put forth the best of their soul. He is a leader in the community, a true trend setter.
I appreciate all that he shares in his poetry and his blogs. He literally challenges me to be a
better writer and for that I am thankful.
*inspired by Christie Moses Poetry Soup Friend Tributes Contest and of course Brian Strand
