Tribute To Harry Horsman

“primrose coloured sky grey clouds chase the setting sun… rain kisses scorched earth” by Harry Horsman A beautiful haiku by Harry. I think one of Harry's last, "Woopa Bank,” shows his caring for nature. And, I read one recently about the kindness of the the gravedigger, who is the last one with the deceased. Harry told me he was a gravedigger when he was young. That was Harry—gentle with the soil that covered the grave. Dear Harry, we will miss you so much and long for your lovely poetic touch. You made simple things in life more real Your graciousness in your poems we feel ...Goodnight, gentle soul

I was once greeted by the said poet -- a greeting that's hard to forget. A surprise visit, one day in my life. One word he unleashed... and colored my life!

A superb tribute to Harry. I really enjoyed reading your posting as it conveys a caring side of Harry who was (indeed) "gentle with the soil." Sincerest regards, Brian
