In praise of UK Poet Extraordinaire, John Read, who has graced our lives with generous humor, measured wisdom, deep understanding, and striking imagery. Pen on, my friend!
Each line the poet delivers Reveals his passionate heart. Nuance and beautiful imagery Set his poetic scenes apart. Each new thoughtful observance Is delineated and crystal clear. In each syllable there is a measured Symphony for me alone to hear. He sees what others carelessly overlook. He feels what they cannot embrace. Each poem rises with rhyme and rhythm To the tempo of his God-given grace. Far above his fellow poets in measured Skill and well-deserved praise, He pours himself into every verse With shining eyes and hopeful gaze. Sharing wisdom, humor, and honesty, He draws me in to Read again.
