Thanks everyone for your kind words of concern, I'm feeling a little better just been under a lot of stress after my dad died. Trying to help my mom as much as I can, so much pain involved in the grieving process.

I HAVE heard from John - he is fine, just not writing much at present. He said to give his blessings to ALL, especially Heidi for being so concerned. He'll be back around eventually. :o)

Would soup administration have his email or contact?. Why don't you ask them? Any member staying near his place. His bio has his location.

Heidi, yes, I notice John has not written a poem since May, nor has he sponsored any contests, that is strange, hope he responds to all the soupmails and comments poets have left him as a result of your blog, he is a wonderful writer and a fair sponsor ~ peace and tranquility _Constance

Hi Heidi, I haven't seen John either. I had thought about him. I didn't know that he wasn't feeling well. That's concerning. I hope someone hears from him because I miss him too. Thanks for writing this blog- Alexis

I hope that he is ok Alexis. His last response to a comment of mine quite a while ago was in regards to not feeling well. I miss him being here. Thank you for your input and you are welcome :)

John is one of my best friends here and we work on music together ... I have been messaging him here, FB and via email the last few days, and to this point have not heard from him, though I will certainly post it here when/if I DO. I am concerned about him as well.

I have noticed that he hasn't sponsored any contest as of late. I am grateful, Heidi, for your initiating this blog as I remain hopeful that this outreach will enable those who are more capable than I am, Aloha!
