Best Horsman Poems

 To think we've lost another friend.
It grieves my heart, you left so soon.
 I read your blog this afternoon.
A better place you've journeyed to.
 God Speed Harry, thinking of You.

You are not the judge
But judge you must
For earthly matters and such
Leave hell to satan or demons
But Heaven in fragrances of your words:
Epitaph, apology, poetry, piety, congrats - - 
Even angels fall, why not us (Adamic) mortals -
When...

Hey you get off my cloud

is a wonderful concept.
It is its people i cannot stand.

In the distance men at arms
looking to conflict only harm,
What is to be the plight of man?
With the intellect of a woolly ram,
life becoming a complete sham.
Energy etched within the P.C Rom
loving one’s self, blowing one’s horn
this becoming decisively the norm,
so utterly concerned I am
for...

Do you connect with struggling writers
Would you know it
Harry the Weaver, poet
Graces communities, fraternities,
(Sororities, too?)

To have someone read your scraps of work
Going back as far as is feasible

With the gentleness of weavers,
Care, calmness, goodness - fruit of the Spirit
Makes it...

Yet I felt a strange rapport with him

On seeing the silhouette of Harry,

A Date with Milton

Written by Harry Horsman, 01/06/2023 
A Premiere Contest Trophy Winner

Death comes to all like a great shadow,
servant of reality when the truth of it sinks
in leaving the experience embedded on
one’s soul. Milt, given to remembrance
in his lifetime, moments flashing by,...

Farewell seems so final,

The old oak tree.
So happy I wrote: Lovely!
“Let us hear the bluebell call,
the daffodil pray,
the apple blossom bear witness.”

how do I comment now, so Harry will see.
So glad I had...
